Remembering Marie A. Lyrics - David Bowie

1 It was a day in that blue month September

2 Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade

3 I held her there

4 My love, so pale and silent

5 As if she were a dream that must not fade

6 Above us in the shining summer heaven

7 There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon

8 It was quite white and very high above us

9 Then I looked up

10 And found that it had gone

11 And since that day, so many moons in silence

12 Have swum across the sky and gone below

13 The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood

14 And if you ask, how does that love seem now

15 I must admit, I really can't remember

16 And yet I know what you are trying to say

17 But what her face was like, I know no longer

18 I only know I kissed it on that day

19 As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it

20 But for the cloud that floated in the sky

21 I know that still and shall forever know it

22 It was quite white and moved in very high

23 It may be that the plum trees still are blooming

24 That woman's seventh child may now be there

25 And yet that cloud had only bloomed for minutes

26 When I looked up

27 It vanished on the air
