A telephone ringing in the dead of night A knock on the door & a deep blue sigh The dagger, the coffin holding her body Being lowered into the ground
Longing for her touch & the smell of her hair Her gentle lips & her eyes of despair Kissing her feet & ankles & then Working my way up her legs
All along her thighs from her belly toward her breasts Happily floating among her softness All along her back & then up again Finally finding her neck
Marie, Marie, this world seems so empty without thee
Oh, Marie, now that you‘re gone You, my one delight Who’s gonna kiss your mouth, cheeks & tongue Each lip & each eye ?
They found you nude & bundled in a sheet of plastic the night you were taken from me Feels like I was doused with cold water & left to freeze in the snow
Oh, Marie, I don’t know where I’m going But I gotta get there soon They say losing all hope is freedom Well, I guess I’m free now
