Well I wonder where you are, sweet sister Marie
This has gone on way too long
You're just so out of reach
Well I wonder who you are, growing up right next to me
Was my shadow way too long?
Was our chasm way too deep?
Don't know much about, never talked much about it to me
Don't know much about, never talked much about it to me
Well I hope it won't be long and I pray that someday soon
That you'll be coming out of your room... sweet Marie
Sister, have you hardened your heart so?
Can you no longer let it go?
Like a child trapped in the past
It was so long ago
Now only memories remain
With so few left to name
When you think about your pain
Am I the one you blame?
Don't know much about, never talked much about it to me
Don't know much about, never talked much about it to me
Well I hope it won't be long and I pray that someday soon
That you'll be coming out of your room... sweet Marie
Staring up at the great face of the moon
So full and bright, but I spoke too soon
'Cause with each passing day it's fading from view
Just like you... sweet Marie
Don't know much about, never talked much about it to me
Don't know much about, never talked much about it to me
Well I hope it won't be long and I pray that someday soon
That you'll be coming out of your room... sweet Marie
