Fairport Convention - Marcie Lyrics
Marcie in a coat of flowers
Steps inside a candy store
Reds are sweet and greens are sour
Still no letter at her door
So she'll wash her flower curtains
Dust her tables with his shirt and
Wave another day goodbye
Marcie's faucet needs a plumber
Marcie's sorrow needs a man
Red is autumn green is summer
Greens are turning and the sand
All along the ocean beaches
Stares up empty at the sky
Marcie buys a bag of peaches
And summer goes
Falls to the sidewalk like string and brown paper
Winter blows
Up from the river there's no one to take her
To the sea
Marcie dresses warm its snowing
Takes a yellow cab uptown
Red is stop and green's for going
Sees a show and rides back down
Down along the Hudson River
Past the shipyards in the cold
Still no letter's been delivered
Still the winter days unfold
Like magazines
Fading in dusty grey attics and cellars
Make a dream
Dream back to summer and hear how
He tells her
Wait for me
Marcie leaves and doesn't tell us
Where or why she moved away
Red is angry green is jealous
That was all she had to say
Someone thought they saw her Sunday
Window shopping in the rain
Someone heard she bought a one-way ticket
And went west again

Fairport Convention Marcie Comments
I read in an interview that nobody in the group even remembers doing this song...must have been a spur of the moment...but it sounds great! This entire box set is incredible....i actually prefer these versions of their music to the album tracks, yes, theyre that good!
Can't claim to be a FC fan but have loved this song since I taped it from the bbc studio show "Top of he Pops from London" way back in ' 68. Thanks so much for posting.
Fine Sandy voice in the rare song of early FC.
Thanks for this upload, xyearsafter! :)
