   Did anyone see my last marble
  As it rolled out and over the floor?
  It fell through a hole in the corner
  Of a room in a town on a tour
  
  It's lonely without your last marble
  I miss it not rattling around
  As I lie in my bed there's a space in my head
  Where there used to be colours and sound..
  
  When I was a child I had marbles
  They brought admiration and fame
  They were pretty to look at and marbles
  Was always my favourite game
  
  We played all the summer days
  In the stony alleyways
  In the playground after class
  We would trade the coloured glass
  More valuable than diamonds
  More magical than diamonds
  Did anyone see..
  Did anyone see..
  Does anyone see?
  
  There were almost four hundred until the black day
  I discovered how high they would fly to the sky
  If you used them for tennis instead of a ball..
  
  Zinging glass satellites crueller than fate
  Whacked with a racket up into the blue
  I'd smashed all the greenhouses on the estate
  And a crowd formed a queue at the gate..
  
  That was almost the end of my marbles
  Confiscated, I choked back the tears
  I hung onto a handful of favourites
  That disappeared over the years
  
  Did anyone see my last marble
  I swear that I had it before
  Sometimes I think I should go see a shrink
  In case he can find me some more
  
  Did anyone see my last marble?
  I’d saved it to give it away
  Since I was a youth
  Now I don't have no proof
  Only words
  Only words
  Only words.
