Sweet Marie - Ben Sollee

Sweet Marie Lyrics

Marie,
it's hard to see you give
yourself away
like that
even though
I'm one of those
who chooses to take
No, it ain't right
but what's done is done
There will be no riots
in the streets
no one to scream
your name
cause you have always
been there
and you will remain

Marie
Marie,
the trees have stopped growing
and the water's turning black
they might call it love
but they want you for something
you'll eventually lack
I hear the sound
of steel slowing steel
the platform comes in view
They're taking you away
on that evening train
But there will be no riots
in the streets
no one to scream
your name
cause you have always
been there
and you will remain
Marie
Oh, sweet Marie
Sweet Marie
Oooh,
Sweet Marie,
sweet Marie
