Lonely Sweet Marie Lyrics

She's just sitting there beating on her drum
Waiting a new winters promises never come
Regrets can't undo
No one knows where she's gone
Except the one she loved the most
Her cup of wine he did spill
A white wedding ghost
By the river walks lonely sweet Marie
Just yesterday crowned the beauty queen
Lonely sweet Marie

I drove all the way from California
Just to hear the river cry
As I road a dream it warned me
Not to look into the light
If she'd take me I would go, yeah
Will I see her tonight
By the river walks lonely sweet Marie
Just yesterday crowned the beauty queen
Lonely sweet Marie

By the river walks lonely sweet Marie
Just yesterday crowned the beauty queen
By the river walks lonely sweet Marie
Just yesterday crowned the beauty queen
Lonely sweet Marie
Oh Marie
Don't be lonely
I'm here
Take me now
