Said her name was Marie
  From the banks of the Lee
  With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen
  Her hair like ripples
  They danced with the tide
  As our hearts washed away to the sea
  Was she sent down from the heavens above
  Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
  Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
  And I laugh as the tears was the rain
    Tell me why no one`s listenin'
  Is there nothing at all left to say
  In a world so unforgiving
  You mean more to me each every day
  So may the living be dead in our wake
    One cold winters night behind the clouds stars did hide
  And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ
  we`re alive
  Our spirits they crackled with lovers first sight
  Till the mornin' came fresh with a new
  Will you dance with me now heavens child sang
  the clown
  We`ve nothing left to lose but your wings and
  my frown
  Where over the hills the valleys will ring
  To the sound of our love singin' true
    Tell me why no one`s listenin'
  Is there nothing at all left to say
  In a world so unforgiving
  You mean more to me each every day
  So may the living be dead in our wake
    But the summer sun is melting now
  With the leaves I`ll soon be gone
  Will you have the strength when the emptiness
  shadows fall
  Or will your aching heart be ripped apart
  By the beating from the storm
  Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone
  Yeah be gone... be gone
    Was she sent down from the heavens above
  Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
  Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
  And I laugh as the tears was the rain
    Tell me why no one`s listenin'
  Is there nothing at all left to say
  In a world so unforgiving
  You mean more to me each every day
  So may the living be dead in our wake
