I could do well
If life were easy
I'd give you shells
A couple days later
Find sand in my nails
A rock to climb
For I like Marielle
If life were easy

But life keeps living
Life'll keep my living
Heart away
If that's what they're saying
That if I have to keep moving
Life will keep her living
Heart at bay
'Cause that's where she stays

And I and I can only hope
To be back again in the bay
With my Marielle

I could do well
If life were easy and under your spell
Put on the socks
That you sent in the mail
Roll out and skate
For I like Marielle
If life were easy

But life keeps living
Life'll keep my living
Heart away
If that's what they're saying
That if I've to keep moving
Life will keep her living
Heart at bay
'Cause that's where she stays

And I and I can only hope
To be back again in the bay
With my Marielle

And I and I can only hope
To be back again in the bay
Oh, to be back again in the bay
Yeah, to be back again in the bay
With my Marielle
