Said her name was Marie
|
From the banks of the Lee
|
With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen
|
Her hair like ripples
|
They danced with the tide
|
As our hearts washed away to the sea
|
Was she sent down from the heavens above
|
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
|
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
|
And I laugh as the tears was the rain
|
|
Tell me why no one`s listenin'
|
Is there nothing at all left to say
|
In a world so unforgiving
|
You mean more to me each every day
|
So may the living be dead in our wake
|
|
One cold winters night behind the clouds stars did hide
|
And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ
|
we`re alive
|
Our spirits they crackled with lovers first sight
|
Till the mornin' came fresh with a new
|
Will you dance with me now heavens child sang
|
the clown
|
We`ve nothing left to lose but your wings and
|
my frown
|
Where over the hills the valleys will ring
|
To the sound of our love singin' true
|
|
Tell me why no one`s listenin'
|
Is there nothing at all left to say
|
In a world so unforgiving
|
You mean more to me each every day
|
So may the living be dead in our wake
|
|
But the summer sun is melting now
|
With the leaves I`ll soon be gone
|
Will you have the strength when the emptiness
|
shadows fall
|
Or will your aching heart be ripped apart
|
By the beating from the storm
|
Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone
|
Yeah be gone... be gone
|
|
Was she sent down from the heavens above
|
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
|
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
|
And I laugh as the tears was the rain
|
|
Tell me why no one`s listenin'
|
Is there nothing at all left to say
|
In a world so unforgiving
|
You mean more to me each every day
|
So may the living be dead in our wake
|
