Here I Am - Michael Nesmith, The First National Band

Slowly into winter goes the ash of life

Wholly independent windows framing time

Downward drops the ridiculing eye so blind

Love has conquered once again uneven rhyme

Marie, my sweet Marie

Here I am

Holding on to moments meant for each to share

Grasping at the veils as they began to tear

Wearily the healing comes to lift the care

Opening your hand and finding mine still there

Marie, my sweet Marie

Here I am

Letting go of a rusty old beginning

Turning to the sun

Easily I give you now the thoughts I can

Gentle reassurance from a gentle man

Toppling the barrier that spoiled the view

Let me offer what I’ve taken back to you

Marie, my sweet Marie

Here I am

Here I am
