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
