When the great collector found her 
She was just a girl 
She rang a chord inside him 
And he stole her to the center of his world 
Many wished they could be in her shoes 
But she surely did know how to have the blues 

He tried to make a star of her 
She never did know why 
And though she could have told him 
There were some things that his money couldn't buy 
She never knew a way to refuse 
But she surely did know how to have the blues 

They say tomorrow's such a long, long time 
They say tomorrow never comes 
Whatever happened to this dream of mine 
Count the days as they run 

He built himself a castle 
On a hill above a bay 
Where Marion the Chatelaine 
Charmed every single one who came to stay 
Some never knew, while others read the clues 
That she surely did know how to have the blues 

They say tomorrow's such a long, long time 
They say tomorrow never comes 
Whatever happened to this dream of mine 
Count the days as they run 

When all the parties ended 
In the castle on the hill 
The paintings and the statues stood alone 
And all the corridors grew still 
She got caught between the shadows and the booze 
And she surely did know how to have the blues
