Sweet Marie lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
With twilight's falling, the full moon, it 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

[Bridge]
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
[Refrain]
(Sweet Marie)
(Sweet Marie)
(Sweet Marie)

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
And it keeps me thinking on

[Chorus]
Sweet Marie, she means a lot to me
(Sweet Marie)
Oh, this melody keeps on haunting me
(Sweet Marie)
In harmony, it's with me constantly
(Sweet Marie)

[Outro]
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
