lyrics

Not You, Marie

You know could have fallen for you
But I didn't know you well enough
To follow-through
I never made that call
Just friends of friends who met some times
Drifting in and out of sight
In floating world
Seemed that was all
I can't remember half the faces and the names
And there were those who hardly left a trace
I don't think about them now
But not you Marie


I remember you with headphones on
The DJ played but you
Were up there dancing on your own
To your own tune
And my friend John said look at that poser
Whose that girl ? Does anyone know where she's coming from
Or where she's going to?
That was the circle I was moving in back then
Everybody trying to fit in
Trying hard to be part of the crowd
But not you Marie

My band broke up
And Anne walked out
So I went and found a bar
Somewhere I could be on my own
But you were sitting there
You said man you're looking rough
Come on join the heartbreak club
Pull up a chair

So you took me home made me toast and tea
And I told you how the things
That mattered most to me
Had slipped through my hands
And you said no bad it feels
You pick yourself up lick your wounds and start again
The trouble in your life will surely pass
And I won't say that you made everything all right

There are people I don't think about at all
But not you, Marie
But you made me laugh and got me through a long night night
There are people you forget
But not you Marie
