Lyrics
if you used them for tennis instead of a ball
In the playground after class, there were almost four hundred until the black day
They brought admiration and fame, where there used to be colours and sound Marillion, zinging glass satellites crueller than fate
Was always my favourite game, it s lonely without your last marble
we played all the summer days
I discovered how high they would fly to the sky, did anyone see
i d saved it to give it away
did anyone see
In case he can find me some more, does anyone see
They were pretty to look at and marbles, it fell through a hole in the corner Marillion, i miss it not rattling around
And a crowd formed a queue at the gate, that was almost the end of my marbles Marbles, now i don t have no proof
When i was a child i had marbles, we would trade the coloured glass
Now i don t have no proof, i miss it not rattling around, in the stony alleyways
As i lie in my bed there s a space in my head, i d smashed all the greenhouses on the estate
and a crowd formed a queue at the gate
Where there used to be colours and sound, they were pretty to look at and marbles
Did anyone see my last marble, did anyone see
Did anyone see my last marble, i discovered how high they would fly to the sky
Since i was a youth, i hung onto a handful of favourites
I discovered how high they would fly to the sky, sometimes i think i should go see a shrink
Did anyone see, of a room in a town on a tour, i hung onto a handful of favourites
