Sweet Marie Lyrics - Hothouse Flowers: The Platinum Collection - Hothouse Flowers

Found a note of words this very morning 

Written on the best paper you could find 

You left it on your favorite table 

Kind of expected your goodbye 

It said like something about separation 

It said like something for our own good 

It said like fly in our own direction 

And spread our souls across the world 

Sweet Marie I'm alive 

Sweet Marie I'm alive 

Sweet Marie I'm alive 

Last night I went a walking down by the lakeside 

It was a hot balmy night and three ducks flew by 

I came to a tree I said, Hi can I sit here 

And listen to the crickets lullaby? 

And I will make you a basket 

From the rushes by the lake 

Keep your memories and thoughts in it 

Take as long as it might take - It might take long 

Oh, I hope you find your good fortune 

I hope you find peace in everything you do 

I hope the colors of the rainbow 

They Color your clothing 

And I hope you'll find love, true love, I do 

And I hope you get there safely girl 

'Cos I know you find the way 

Sweet Marie I'm alive 

Sweet Marie I'm alive 

Sweet Marie I'm alive
