indio saravanja - marie lyrics

tried to get some sleep last night
and then i saw the dawn
i used to be so good at this
so naturally turned on
by the beauty and the mystery
but now i feel i’ve lost my touch
i’m looking out at the sunset now
and i don’t feel very much
i built so many fences
started to lose my nerve
you made me stick to my defences girl
and i got what i deserved
got so worn out by the worry
i let you down entirely
and though you’re five years gone
i know i can’t move on
until i see your face marie
when thе birds came out this morning
and they made thеir debut
it was like they sang for the very first time
and it made me think of you
of loneliness in april
stretching out into may
and how i found you on that spanish evening
in that tired old cafe
how i never had much money
and how you lived with that
when i was singing on the street
and how you used to pass my hat
but from the day we met i never could forget
about the man i had to be
you said it from the start
that he would break our hearts
i guess i know that now marie

i’ve got a friend with a cabin
who lives on the edge of a lake
he’s one of the very few i know
who isn’t out on the make
one day he just woke right up
and he walked out on everything
he lives alone by the water now
and he writes down all his dreams
he don’t get many visitors
and doesn’t seem to mind
sometimes i get the feeling
that he’s left this world behind
and though my life’s become a lot like his
while fighting to stay free
at times my shape gets bent
thinking to what extent
i let you keep me down marie
my days are strange and meaningless
and nothing makes much sense
i’d like to think that we’d be different now
but i’ve got no evidence
the past keeps burning up my mind
you know it’s hard to get much sleep
can’t stop thinking ’bout the weight of the world
and all the things i couldn’t keep
and when i think about you
i can’t be sure that it’s for real
i’m not so sure that you can love anyone
until you know just how you feel
and even then you can’t be certain
it’s not just yourself that you see
both beautiful
and terrible
behind the curtains of marie

there’s a lot of pretty faces
in a world of window panes
looking haunted and unwanted
when you’re walking through the rain
and when their aim’s as true as your loneliness
they can save you from the storm
but there comes a point when you can’t pretend
you wouldn’t rather just stay warm
than to be held up by someone’s charms
against the wall of alibis
like an outlaw trading false alarms
for a place for clothes to dry
and the romance of a fixed address
and a real identity
the day that you hand in
your guns and belt
you’ll see just how i felt marie
