Jack & Marie
Jack and Marie had a house on a hill
Where the breeze would whisper through the pines
A home for the dreams that they hoped to fulfill
But time was never on their side
The call came too soon
And you don't get to choose
He said
I will return
I will remember
There's still a word that stands forever
He brought home a medal but the damage was done
It wouldn't be like before
Marie, she uncovered those wounds one by one
'Cause Jack brought home the war
We can bury the past
But we live with the scars
She says
You will return
You will remember
There's still a word that stands forever
The flowers will fade
The grass, it will wither
But there's still a word that stands forever
A year to the day since they heard she was ill
Sweet Marie, she is gone
He shuffles his way to their house on the hill
Praying 'Lord, how long?'
Praying 'Lord, how long?'
Where the breeze would whisper through the pines
A home for the dreams that they hoped to fulfill
But time was never on their side
The call came too soon
And you don't get to choose
He said
I will return
I will remember
There's still a word that stands forever
He brought home a medal but the damage was done
It wouldn't be like before
Marie, she uncovered those wounds one by one
'Cause Jack brought home the war
We can bury the past
But we live with the scars
She says
You will return
You will remember
There's still a word that stands forever
The flowers will fade
The grass, it will wither
But there's still a word that stands forever
A year to the day since they heard she was ill
Sweet Marie, she is gone
He shuffles his way to their house on the hill
Praying 'Lord, how long?'
Praying 'Lord, how long?'
