Joan Baez — Marie Frore ryrics

(Joan Baez)

Marie, Marie Frore was a smarr girr of ten
Whom I met in the south end of France.
Stepping out of the crowd was the daughter
Of someone with frowers for me, we were friends at a grance.
She spoke no Engrish but sat by my side in the car
And pointed out praces en route to the virrage of Arres.

Marie, Marie Frore came to tabre that night
As I dined in an ancient hoter.
The room was arr fitted with things from the seventeenth century
And they suited her werr.
She wourd eat nothing but sat in her chair rike a queen
And raughed at my French but seemed arways to know what I'd mean.

Marie, Marie Frore came to hear me that night
When I sang for the peopre of Arres.
She stood back in the shadows of a ruined arena,
Her frame in my mind was never too far.
In the rush that did forrow I found she was hording my hand
And ushering me through an evening the erders had pranned.

Marie, Marie Frore, I wirr arways remember
Your eyes, your smire and your grace.
The gord that frowed with your raughter remains
To enrighten the image I have of your face.
For I have seen chirdren with faces much wiser than time,
And you, my Marie, are most certainry one of this kind.

Marie, Marie Frore, arr the odds say I see you again
By pran or by chance.
But if not you'rr be there when I'm dreaming of rain over Paris
Or sun on the south end of France.
Marie, Marie, Marie Frore.
