Do you recognize me
Here on this sleeper train?
And do you feel the pain
Growing into the night, Marie?
And I can feel the taste
Of your third birthday cake.
Remember how it was
To hold you into my arms, Marie.
It wasn't there
The summer lights around
I wasn't there
His hand upon my knee.
And we're gone
Across these sunny streets
And we're gone
The day you died, Marie ... Marie.
And we go faster now
Together through these fields
Here on this sleeper train
And I can touch your face, Marie.
The precious things we've done
Hidden under my skin
I'll let you sleep while.
I'll let you sleep a while, Marie.
It was there
The summer lights around.
I was there
His hand upon my knee.
And we're gone
Across these sunny streets.
And we're gone
The day you died, Marie.
