Sweet Marie

[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
