Hush, a wild violet, hush, a band of gold
Hush, you're in a story I heard somebody told
Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
You have found another, oh baby, I must go away
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie
Hush, my love, the rain now, hush, my love was so true
Hush, my love, a train now, well, it takes me away from you
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
And hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie
Hush, you're in a story I heard somebody told
Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
You have found another, oh baby, I must go away
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie
Hush, my love, the rain now, hush, my love was so true
Hush, my love, a train now, well, it takes me away from you
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
And hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie

I listened to this song an hour ago for the first time. Loved the melody of it. The melody is very strong. Tom gets me by surprise most of the times, this was no exception. The usual Tom style lyrics of dark imagery and story don't exist here in this song in their usual way. But that should not be confused with something not up to the mark. The richness of language is vividly visible in the lyrics. The guitar lick is very jazzy. Overall a very good song. Though it would be better if people start sharing their interpretations of lyrics. I liked the one 'mpaz14', where he says he thought of a soldier and his cheating lover. Lyrically speaking the song takes a good literary turn when the song gives a name to the girl in question. This significantly helps to evoke the imagery for a listener.
