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
