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
  Hang them in the wind to dry
  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
  Stops a postman passing by
  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
