seventeen nights away she's leaving,
'cause everything she found was fake.


oh, tell me why,
i don't know why,
why does she have to leave?


no one has told me she's ended up there


all i can do, is to keep being here, yeah

marie, my friend, marie, my friend,

i sing for you,
marie, my friend, marie, my friend,
this is your song.


seventeen skies away she's fallin'
'cause everything she had has gone,


oh, tell me why,
i don't know why,

why does she have to leave?

no one has told me she's ended up there


all i can do, is to keep being here, yeah


marie, my friend, marie, my friend,
i sing for you,
marie, my friend, marie, my friend,

this is your song.

couldnt' take your hand [we'll take your hand]

i should've done this before,
i'm so shocked now,
you changed my world [you changed my world],

don't go away like this.

oh, tell me why,

i don't know why
why you have been so strong,
no one has held you but you spread your wings.


all i can do, is to keep being here, yeah


marie, my friend, marie, my friend,
i sing for you,
marie, my friend, marie, my friend,

this is your song.
