Lyrics
Found a note of words this very morning
Written on the best paper you could find
You left it on your favorite table
I 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, said, "Hi can I sit here
And listen to the crickets lullaby"
And I'll make you a basket
From the rushes by the lake
Keep your memories and thoughts in it
Take as long as you might take
It might take long, oh-oh-oh
I hope you find your good fortune
And I hope you find peace in everything you do
And I hope the colors of the rainbow
They color your clothing
And I hope you find love
Oh sweet love, I do
And I hope you get there safely girl
'Cos I know you'll find the way
Sweet Marie I'm alive
Sweet Marie I'm alive
Sweet Marie I'm alive
