Lyrics

Her name was Marie
She lived by the sea
With her shells and her Botticelli hair
And her eyes were as blue
As the ocean I knew
I was snared by her gypsy flair
Freedom she said
Will get in your head
And the breeze will blow soft and cool
And the look in her eyes
Far away as the skies
I’ll admit I was one happy fool

Then like a mermaid she wrecked my ship at sea
Set me adrift with what would never be

Oh Marie
Wild and Free
I could not put a hold on her
She never put a hold on me
She left me she did
To live off the grid
With her bells and her salty air
And I'd give all I've got
To go back to the spot
Where for a moment Marie was right there
Then like a mermaid she wrecked my ship at sea
Set me adrift with what would never be



Oh Marie
Wild and Free
I could not put a hold on her
She never put a hold on me
Oh Marie
Wild and Free
I could not put a hold on her
She never put a hold on me
