Oh Marie

I hear the door close
Gently behind me
In the dark I see you lying there
Breathing in and out lightly

And you are young
And I lay down beside you, yeah
You are sweet
As my eyes close, goodnight

I’m freezing when I wake
From a bad dream that sent me
Reaching out for you hand
To fill a bed that is empty

Did I know from the cold
As I lay there, rags and bones
That time makes me forget all my secrets in the end?

Oh, Marie
Oh, Marie
Oh, Marie
Oh, Marie

I heard the door close
Somewhere deep inside me
You left me in a foreign land
When your breathing stopped beside me
