| I wash the dishes and think about
|
| Friends laughing and eating cake
|
| And how when the frosting hit his tongue
|
| It was an instant memory
|
| And Marie, when he said it out loud
|
| The clouds changed from pink to orange
|
| Blue to black with the night at your back
|
| I wash the dishes and think about
|
| My friends laughing and eating cake
|
| And how when the frosting hit his tongue
|
| It was an instant memory
|
| And Marie, Marie, he said it out loud and the clouds
|
| Changed from pink to orange, blue to black, velvet night at my back
|
| Eyes on the golden goodbyes
|
| A queen’s wave
|
| A slow fade into the blacknss
|
| She is the actress with hr practiced smile
|
| She says «bye» for a while
|
| (Bye-bye)
|
| Her light makes the crooked old tree stand tall for Marie
|
| Marie, Marie, I said it out loud and the clouds
|
| Changed from pink to orange, blue to black, velvet night at my back
|
| Marie, Marie
|
| Marie, Marie |
