Sam Beam - Tree by the River lyrics

Marianne, do you remember The tree by the river When we were seventeen? The dark canyon wall, the call and the answer And the mare in the pasture Pitch black and baring its teeth I recall the sun in our faces Stuck and leaning on graces And being strangers to change The radio and the bones we found frozen And all the thorns and the roses Beneath your windowpane Now I'm asleep in a car I mean the world to a parted-mouth girl And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say But I wonder to who And what it is you're saying today Now I'm asleep in a car I mean the world to a potty-mouth girl And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say But I wonder to who And what it is you're saying today Marianne, do you remember The tree by the river When we were seventeen? The dark canyon road; I was coy in the half moon Happy just to be with you And you were happy for me
