Marie, it's hard to see you give yourself away like that Even though i'm one of those who chooses to take No, it ain't right, but what's done is done There'll be no riots in the streets No one to scream your name Cause you have always been there And will you remain, marie? Marie, the trees have stopped growin' And the water's turnin' black They might call it love But they want you for somethin' you'll eventually lack I hear the sound of steel slowin' steel The platform comes in view They're takin' you away On tha tevenin' train But there'll be no riots in the streets No one to scream your name Cause you have always been there And will you remain, marie? Oh, sweet marie
