lyrics

Lyrics to Joe Nolan's song "My Old Marie" from the 2022 album Lost Verses:

Ain't tonight just like the moon
It's so easy for us to lose ourselves too soon
And if I could be honest with you
Then I'd have to be honest with myself too

I used to see you standing in the rain
You were nobody's baby, you were free of the chains
My mind only saw your body
I was blind in some love triangle game
Now tonight your eyes see my pain

I'm drowning in your name
My old Marie

What is it you want, don't say nothing that can't be true
I'll go out and find anything for you
You know I'm not some thief, just a lone wolf
And if I were to leave would you follow
A heart so hollow

That your beauty just swallows
My old Marie

When I think back on sweet Melanie
And our love was so elementary
For reasons of security
I stayed with her and she stayed with me

Time is so vicious and I'm the victim of my mind
Trials of convicting me of committing all these crimes
Just as guilty as your touch was on mine

Once upon a time
My old Marie

So will we stand in these shadows
In the deep ends of forever
Hiding behind our friends
In the shallowness of never
Trying to piece it or put it all back together

Well I surrender
My old Marie

Ain't tonight just like the moon
I could break right down on the floor of this room
See these chances come and chances gone so soon
Just as delicate as my love is for you

Joe Nolan Edmonton, Alberta

Cry Baby's 10-song collection is a trip through melancholic madness, touching on darkness & depression, broken relationships & endless booze-fuelled evenings. Yet at its core is Nolan’s unwavering strength as a lyricist, & his wounded-heart delivery that reminds us of our humanity. It's, in essence, Nolan unapologetically sharing his story, & through that finding a second chance & a new beginning. ... more
