I've never seen things this way Absence changes intentions Living treasure out of this world Unpolished but still a diamond Wearing that smile and linen dress Rough edges defying the truth In these times of misfortune Take what I have There's nothing left to lose But I hope there will be one day
Chorus: Threw all my courage Into the wishing well On scarlet petals I'll lay you down Marielle
A token of an old friend's love Is that what you'd wish for? Left on your doorstep one night My blessing for an untold future Seven little beads embroidered Onto a red gown of pure silk Four to your family's good fortune Two for us One to our unborn child Seven seals through eternity
I played my whole hand Left my whole heart Emptied my whole mind But not my whole pocket How will you find me now?
Chorus
Who could've known? She threw a lock of hair and asked to see That's when we finally met by that well
