From the recording About Time
Lyrics
Written by Matt McLeod and Jesse Parent
The leaves fall from a withered tree
Floating to the ground
You know I try to catch them
Turn them green back from brown
You know I’m far from perfect
I’ve lost a lot of leaves
I try to be a good man
That’s something I believe
I say oh
Sweet Marie
Again the trees are dying
Letting summer go
Seems they might be crying
Afraid to fight the snow
Winter only whispers
Summer always screams
Screaming out a love song
In the cold November breeze
And I say oh
Sweet Marie
