Wait for Me, Marie

[Verse 1]
Into a mist of darkness
Radio playing soft and low
Headlights my only witness
Will you wait for me, Marie

[Verse 2]
Memories drift by my window
Riverbed sigh, dust shakes the plain
Something inside won't let go
Will you wait for me, Marie

[Chorus]
Oh, Marie, I let you down
But I won't fail you again, I swear
Something has changed in me
I've turned it all around
So when I get to you
Please don't walk away
I'm here to stay

[Verse 3]
Once I was young and empty
I came undone, I lost my way
You took me in, you saved me
Will you wait for me, Marie

[Chorus]
Oh, Marie, I let you down
But I won't fail you again, I swear
Somеthing has changed in me
I've turnеd it all around
So when I get to you
Please don't walk away
I'm here to stay

[Bridge]
If I could go back and do things differently
For there was a time
You believed in me
You believed in me

[Verse 4]
Here I stand at your front door
Hoping you'll hear me call your name
Silence betrays me once more
Did you wait for me, Marie

[Coda]
Oh, Marie
Oh, Marie
Oh, Marie
