Sweet Marie - Thin Lizzy

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

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

With twilight’s falling

The full moon is calling

(Sweet Marie)

And what the sea tells

Only sea shells are whispering

(Sweet Marie)

Into the darkness there goes this message

To you, my darling

(Sweet Marie)

Sweet Marie

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

(Sweet Marie)

(Sweet Marie)

(Sweet Marie)

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

Tonight we’re going to play Boston

And I still don’t know what the hell is going on

Oh but I just wrote this song

To keep me thinking on

Sweet Marie

She means a lot to me

(Sweet Marie)

Oh this melody

It keeps on haunting me

(Sweet Marie)

In harmony

It’s with me constantly

(Sweet Marie)

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
