Hothouse Flowers - Sweet Marie lyrics

Found a note of words this very morning Written on the best paper you could find You left it on your favorite 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 lullaby?? 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 colors of the rainbow Color your clothing And I know you'll find love, I do Sweet Marie I'm alive And I hope you get there safely girl 'Cos I know you know the way Sweet Marie I'm alive
