Red bird flying through the air
Made me stop and think
The last time I saw you
She said its grandma lookin down On me
I can't help but sit and stare
And listen to you sing
I can't help but think of her every Time I blink
So if you see my Sweet Marie
Well could you say a couple things For me
Ya
Maybe I was away for to long and I
Didn't give you the time that you Wanted
Maybe I'm scared
No it ain't fair
Maybe I'm the boy before the man I'm supposed to be
Maybe you were the one but I Fought it
Cause it didn't turn out how I Wanted
Maybe your right
Maybe im fine
Maybe I'm the man before the man Your supposed to meet
But if she somehow sees you sittin In a tree
And she asks grandma how is he
Just tell her he's bitter Sweet Marie
Red bird flying through the air
I hope she stops and thinks
The last she saw you she was sitting Right next to me
And I can't help but notice how
This is so ubsird
I'm sitting here talking to a bird Hoping you'll go and talk to her
So if you see my sweet Marie
Well could you say a couple things For me
Ya
Maybe I was away for to long and I
Didn't give you the time that you Wanted
Maybe I'm scared
No it ain't fair
Maybe I'm the boy before the man I'm supposed to be
Maybe you were the one but I Fought it
Cause it didn't turn out how I Wanted
And maybe your right
Maybe I'm fine
Maybe I'm the man before the man Your supposed to meet
But if she somehow see's you sittin In a tree
And she asks grandma how is he
Just tell her he's bitter Sweet Marie
Bitter sweet Marie
Maybe you were the one but I Fought it
Cause it didn't turn out how I Wanted
And maybe your right
Maybe I'm fine
Maybe I'm the man before the man Your supposed to meet
But if she somehow see's you sittin In a tree
And she asks grandma how is he
Just tell her he's bitter Sweet Marie
Bitter Sweet Marie
