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.
