A Long Night, Marie

It's gonna be a long night, Marie / Who's gonna bring you flowers? / Who's gonna wake you up before they leave? / I'm not the one to save you / I don't know which way to turn the key, Marie / It was in the papers today / We're off to war now / Doesn't really matter what you say / Does it shake you up enough to face the war that's in your own way? / It's okay, Marie / Marie, I am missing you today, hey / Did you hug your children? / They grew up much too fast / You couldn't save them / Heaven knows you try with what you have / Someday they may know you / Through the faults they forgive in themselves - Oh, well / Marie, shine a light into yourself to help / Down the long drive to your house I am whispering a prayer for us both / Marie, it's never easy to let go, oh / It's gonna be a long night...
