This is the last song I will write for you The inter-titles in our silent picture show I spent my whole life singing to you But you never seemed to know This is the last song I will write for you Like black wires drawn Across blank sheets of snow I had so many things I wanted to say But you always have to go This is the last song I will write for you For the crown of thorns you put on my ring finger Another melody I could not resolve Well I was just an absolute beginner My Marie, don't say you never believed Because you did, just not enough Have you ever seen a cathedral at night? Have you ever been in love? Memory, my Marie, memory
