Sweet Marie - Ben Sollee, Daniel Martin Moore

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
