[David Bowie - Remembering Marie A. lyrics]
It was a day in that blue month September
Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade
I held her there my love, so pale and silent
As if she were a dream that must not fade
Above us in the shining summer heaven
There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon
It was quite white and very high above us
Then I looked up and found that it had gone
And since that day, so many moons in silence
Have swum across the sky and gone below
The plum trees surely have
Been chopped for firewood
And if you ask, how does that love seem now
I must admit, I really can't remember
And yet I know what you are trying to say
But what her face was like, I know no longer
I only know I kissed it on that day
As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it
But for the cloud that floated in the sky
I know that still and shall forever know it
It was quite white and moved in very high
It may be that the plum
Trees still are blooming
That woman's seventh child may now be there
And yet that cloud had
Only bloomed for minutes when I looked up
It vanished on the air
Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade
I held her there my love, so pale and silent
As if she were a dream that must not fade
Above us in the shining summer heaven
There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon
It was quite white and very high above us
Then I looked up and found that it had gone
And since that day, so many moons in silence
Have swum across the sky and gone below
The plum trees surely have
Been chopped for firewood
And if you ask, how does that love seem now
I must admit, I really can't remember
And yet I know what you are trying to say
But what her face was like, I know no longer
I only know I kissed it on that day
As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it
But for the cloud that floated in the sky
I know that still and shall forever know it
It was quite white and moved in very high
It may be that the plum
Trees still are blooming
That woman's seventh child may now be there
And yet that cloud had
Only bloomed for minutes when I looked up
It vanished on the air
