Marie's Song Paroles

for one more kiss or one more mile
we'd walk thru fields once called our own
now stained with blood they sit alone

I saw her gazing across the sea
and it lit a fire inside of me
her skin as soft as the harvest rain
rooted me to my home again

Yet '47 came and stayed
and the rents still must be paid
we married under our family sky
kissed her gaunt cheeks with tears in my eye

her beauty soon relented
as the hunger took its toll
England killed what she could
and the rest he stole

So lament for me as I make my way She still comes to me so young and pure
and lay's me down until I'm sure
that the love I left across the sea
will always live inside of me
