So you've come back for Jennifer   You know, she hides her face behind a veil   I'm warning you Frankie, leave on the next train   Your Jennifer she just isn't the same   Quit waving that thing about! Come back!   Come back and give me a chance to explain   Your baby will never cry again.      So don't try to reach out   And don't let the ship's flag down   Point the figure-head at the storm   And drive her hard upon   Don't stop and don't stop   And don't let the veil drop   (Another ship ready to sail--the rigging is tight   Tight like Jennifer's veil).      She drew the curtain on her face   Ever since they came and burnt the old place down   Why is she searching through the ashes?   Why, only Jennifer knows that now.   And the officer, without a word,   Left all his junk and just moved out.      So don't try to reach out   And don't let the ship's flag down   Point the figure-head at the glass   Smash! Smash! into shards   Don't stop and don't touch!   And don't let the veil drop...behind Jennifer's veil      Oh God! Frankie! Is that really you!   Get back! Don't reach out!   Get back, and get that lantern out of my room!      Don't try to reach out   And don't let the ship's flag down   Down, down over her, like a shroud      And let her sail on the sea like a stone.   Don't touch and don't touch   And don't let the veil drop   Another ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose...
