Marie Lyrics

Found her working the same corner where we used to be

Seems nobody's looking out for Marie

She was looking down at her shoes

I could tell she was tired

Was passing by in my same old car

The breeze was cold and the sky was grey

As I caught her troubled eye

She just as soon turned away

Now we used to haunt these streets

This was years ago

Things is a whole lot different now

So I pulled the car up and put her in park

Walked up to Marie

Gentle as can be

She said "It's been sometime since I seen you around

I thought by now I'd have seen a better day

That some things might've changed

But it's clear I'm the same old way"

Now we found a spot just outside of town

She said "It's good to be off those lonely haunted streets"

I say "Darlin' where do you wanna be?"

She said "It don't matter all that much

I just need to be set free

For someone to come and carry me

This world's gone cold

And I've grown so mean

There's no end to this far as these eyes can see

And all that I wanted well its just too late now"

I found her working the same corner where we used to be

Seems nobody in this world cares for Marie
