Sweet Marie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My sweet Marie, you mean a lot to me In my memory, oh, I hold you dearly Once in all my dreams, my plans, hopes, and future schemes There was sweet Marie [Refrain] But my home is where my heart is And my heart is not at home You see, whenever we are parted Oh, I feel so all alone [Chorus] The twilight's falling, the full moon, it is calling "Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie" And what the sea tells, only sea shells are whispering "Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie" Into the darkness, there goes this message to you, my darling "Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie" (Sweet Marie) [Bridge] Some lovers they are parted They must end what they have started All that's left is the broken hearted I must depart, my sweet Marie [Guitar Solo] Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie [Verse 2] Somewhere out in Arizona Such a long way from California Oh, I felt so alone there I was two thousand miles away from home there [Verse 3] Tonight we're gonna play Boston And I still don't know what the hell is goin' on Oh, but I just wrote this song And it keeps me thinkin' on [Chorus] Sweet Marie, she means a lot to me Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie Oh, this melody keeps on hauntin' me Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie In harmony, it's with me constantly Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie [Refrain] But my home is where my heart is But my heart, it's not at home You see, now that we are parted Oh, I feel so all alone
