Hothouse Flowers Sweet Marie Lyrics

Sweet Marie Lyrics

Found a note of words this very morning

 Written on the best paper you could find

 You left it on your favourite table

 And I expected your goodbye

 It said (like) something about separation

 It said for the two of us only good

 It said like fly in our own direction

 And spread our souls across the world

 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 lullabye

 And I will make you a basket

 From the rushes by the lakes

 Put your memories and thoughts in it

 Take as long as it might take

 

 Oh I hope you find your good fortune

 I hope you find peace in everything you do

 I hope the colours of the rainbow

 Colour your clothing

 And I know you'll find love

 I do

 

 Sweet Marie I'm alive
