I've never seen things this way
Absence changes intentions
Living treasure out of this world
Unpolished but still a diamond
Wearing that smile and linen dress
Rough edges defying the truth
In these times of misfortune
Take what I have
There's nothing left to lose
But I hope there will be one day
Chorus:
Threw all my courage
Into the wishing well
On scarlet petals
I'll lay you down Marielle
A token of an old friends love
Is that what you'd wish for?
Left on your doorstep one night
My blessing for an untold future
Seven little birds embroidered
Onto a red gown of pure silk
Four to your familys good fortune
Two for us
One to our unborn child
Seven seals through eternity
I played my whole hand
Left my whole heart
Emptied my whole mind
But not my whole pocket
How will you find me now?
Chorus
Who couldve known?
She threw a lock of hair and asked to see
That's when we finally met by that well
Chorus
Regained my courage
From our newborn child
On scarlet petals
My valentine Marielle
