The night we met

With your hair piled up high
I will never forget

But I've got to be

What you mean to me

And I always will love you Marie

The song that the trees sing

When the wind blows

You're a flower, you're a river
You're a rainbow

But I guess you know

I'm weak and I'm lazy

And I hurt you so

I don't listen

To a word you say
FM B7
And when you're in trouble

I turn away
