See Marie...

Emma Shapplin


Between the branches
Dawn just hit my face
And anger shows me yours
Frozen In an arid winter 
Silence!
Birds of horror
I shout with no tongue
Silence!
Love destroys me
And my sun has lost its way
And I have no wish to wage war 

See, Marie
See, Marie 

l'm burning, even in winter
And I would like to stop
the chariot of stars
Oh Madonna! 

Jealousy is holding me prisoner
And I see
Without eyes
This song hurts me no more
And I run, barefoot, among the brambles 

I wait, and cannot find peace
Oh how I wish I could perish, I often 
shout
But I can neither live with
Nor live without such a gentle ghost 

What is this, if not love?
What is this, if not love? 

See, Marie
See, Marie
Madonna, come save me
