Said her name was Marie
From the banks of the Lee
With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen
Her hair with the ripples
They danced like the tide
As our hearts washed away to the sea
Was she sent down to me from the heavens above
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
And I laugh as the tears was the rain
Tell me why no one`s listenin'
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake
One cold winters night behind clouds stars did hide
And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ we`re alive
Our spirits they crackled with lover's first sight
Till the mornin' came fresh with a new
Will you dance with me now heavens child sang the clown
We`ve nothing left to lose but your wings and my frown
Where over the hills the valleys will ring
To the sound of our love singin' true
Tell me why no one`s listenin'
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake
But the summer sun is melting now
With the leaves I`ll soon be gone
Will you have the strength when the emptiness shadows fall
Or will your aching heart be ripped apart
By the beating from the storm
Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone
Yeah be gone... be gone
Was she sent down to me from the heavens above
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
And I laugh as the tears was the rain
Tell me why no one`s listenin'
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake
