Wait for Me, Marie

Into a mist of darkness

Radio playing soft and low

Headlights my only witness

Will you wait for me, Marie?

Memories drift by my window

Riverbed side, dust shakes the plate

Something inside won't let go

Will you wait for me, Marie?

Oh, Marie, I let you down

But I won't fail you again, I swear

Something has changed in me

I've turned it all around

So when I get to you

Please don't walk away

I'm here to stay

Once I was young and empty

I came undone, I lost my way

You took me in, you saved me

Will you wait for me, Marie?

Oh, Marie, I let you down

But I won't fail you again, I swear

Something has changed in me

I've turned it all around

So when I get to you

Please don't walk away

I'm here to stay

If I could go back I'd do things differently

For there was a time you believed in me

You believed in me

Here I stand at your front door

Hoping you'll hear me call your name

Silence betrays me once more

Did you wait for me, Marie?

Oh, Marie

Oh, Marie

Oh, Marie
