Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes
You're covered in rain
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always stay, Mary
Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary she moves behind me
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
Everytime the snow drifts, everytime the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts, she's always there
Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruin
you're covered in secrets
Your'e covered in treetops, you're covered in birds
who can sing a million songs without any words
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
on some sunny day and always stay
Everybody wants something from you,
Everybody want a piece of mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking
God i want to get you out of here
You can ride in a pink mustang
When i think of what we've done to you
Oh, mary, can you hear me?
Growing up isn't always fun
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips
But butterflies don't belong in nets
Oh mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name
Everybody wants you, sweetheart
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las vegas got a pin-up girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk are running dry
Can't you hear the dolphins crying
What'll we do when our babies scream
Fill their mouths with some acid rain
Oh mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay, ooh ooh
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay
Oh butterflies don't belong in nets
Oh mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name
'cause even the wind cries your name
'cause even the wind cries your name
Cries your name...
Cries your name...
Mary, Mary ich kann dich nicht vergessen
du hast mich fast erschlagen
als ich dich damals traf
ich bin zwar nicht gestorben
doch lebe ich auch nicht mehr
Mary
Mary, schwarzer Engel, die Haut brauner Samt
dein Gesicht gemalt
wie das nur'n alter Meister kann
deine Wildheit leise
jede Katze stirbt vor Neid
Mary
Oh, Mary Fallenstellerin
jetzt sitz ich in der Grube drin
Mary, glaub bloß nicht, es tät mir leid
mein Herz, das hast du eh gestohlen
bei mir ist da jetzt ein Stein
doch irgendwann kommt ein anderer Engel
der räumt ihn aus dem Weg
Mary, Mary, bleib oder geh
Baby one breath away.
I'll find the words to say.
I'll sit and light the bong.
I'll hold my hit in real long.
I don't know if I can go up inside of you tonight.
Oh Mary baby please don't fuss and fight.
You've heard the line before.
Mary baby please don't think I'm a bore.
If you come home to me turn off the lights, and lock up the doors, and start getting busy.
I don't know if I can go so far up inside you tonight.
Oh Mary baby I could do it right.
When we got to the pad,
Mary baby started calling me her dad.
Yes, she gave me head.
We could not find a damn bed!
Fifteen years old plus one, hotter than a microwave oven.
Mary, you are everything a man could want
And I want you, Mary.
Did you know when you pushed me once away from you
The thing I knew grew inside me.
People are dancing for you now
But I can't see why
Can't they see that they can't beat
Nothing I have for you
Mary, you are everything a man could need
How I need you, Mary
Yeah
How I need you
When I look at the hole in your coat
I have to love you more
But when women let my brother down
I swore one day I'd land
Me one Mary
Swore I'l land me one Mary
Oh, Mary
When I look at the hole in your coat
I have to love you more
I remember when I was a child
My brother slept on the floor
Oh, I know that the sun don't shine
Down on every man
But when the woman let my brother dow
I swore one day I'd land me Mary
My mind is buried at the bottom of the sea
My voice is eaten by the crabs
You broke me when you broke the surface
Last, but not hte last
I am at the end of the depths
Wrecked and lost
You call me from the trees
But I fly above the bats and the birds
If I am a number
Or if I am a word
The mice that crawl on me
Know this word
The mice that crawl on me
Know this word
I am the last
You broke me, bu I live
Without end, under stones and crosses
You count your losses, your wounds mend
But I am the end of Oak and Yew
Of God and Death and you
I am the last
Before the surface broke, under the depths
Before the strokes of the lash
And the march to the crosses
Before you named me
Before you brake me
Before the first word and after the last
At the bottom of the sea
The crabs crowl on me
The mice crowl on me
They eat my voice
Take all I have to give
Before you
Before all
I live
Mary, it's time to pray, Mary
(first verse)
Mary, you're covered in roses
You're covered in ashes
Covered in rain
You're covered in babies
You're covered in slashes
You're covered in wilderness
You're covered in stains
You cast aside the sheets
You cast aside the shroud
Of another man
Who served the world proud
You greet another son
You lose another one
On some sunny day
And always you stay, Mary
Jesus said, ?Mother
I couldn't stay another day longer?
And He flys right by
Leaves a kiss upon her face
And the Angels singin' His praises
In a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts
Cleaning up the place
Oh Mary, she moves behind me
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
Every time the snow drifts
Every where the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts
She's always there
And Jesus said, ?Mother
I couldn't stay another day longer?
And He flys right by
And leaves a kiss upon her face
And the Angels are singin' His praises
In a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts
Cleaning up the place
Oh Mary, you're covered in roses
You're covered in ruin
You're covered in secrets
You're covered in treetops
You're covered in birds
Who can sing a million songs
Without any words
You cast aside the sheets
You cast aside the shroud
Of another man
Who served the world proud
You greet another son
Yeah, you lose another one
On some sunny day
And always you stay, Mary
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Mary, hmm, I love Mary
If you talk to Mary please don't look at me
Cause she's never seen me before
Don't call attention to the man outside of me
Cause she can cut my head off with the blinking of her eye
And I'm not supposed to be here and I'm too young to die
See, she carries my confusion in the pocket of her jeans
I go bouncing like a pinball in between extremes
I'm not surprised, this happens all the time
And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind
And she's never seen me before
So if you talk to Mary please don't mention me
Cause she's never seen me before
Just let me hide behind the smoke and the pleasantries
Cause I do my best work with the mannequin brigade
I just peek around the statues spitting art and foreign trade
She looks a hole right through me to a shadow on the wall
Till I'm sick of my surroundings while I'm not here at all
I'm not surprised this happens all the time
And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind
And she's never seen me before
Warhol monotone, robotic talk, we're all so smart we're so perceptive
But her mouth doesn't move, except to smile to be polite
To receptive
She burns me with a glance. I look away
I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive
I'd give my right arm for a different situation
Convince myself I see everybody watching me
Oh Mary wasn't happy with the life that she led
She was a simple girl without much to say
So one day she just upped and left her dreary home
And she left all her friends behind to wander all alone
And at first she was afraid, she was so far away
From her home but slowly she got to like it anyway
Oh Mary won't you please come...
Well in time she found that
The mountain that she had been taught
Her whole life, that she must avoid
And though at first it hurt, and no one could comfort her
She finally came to appreciate it
And she like it, she like it - oh wasn't she surprised
And though still alone, she grew so much inside
Oh Mary won't you please come...
And after a time, she became so sublime
She could look in peoples eyes and read their minds
Though her hands would sometimes bleed and occasionally
She would long for her past and the memories they bring
She decided to return to her old home town
And her heart was burning with all the things she found
Oh Mary won't you please come...
So, Mary came back and at first no one recognized her face
And her friends were all a little bit afraid
When they heard what she had to say
They all slowly backed away
And her family took her aside and put their arms around her
They said Mary won't you please come back to us now
There is still time to repent for all your sins
And Mary started to cry when she realized
That she'd never come home again in her life
Oh Mary won't you please come
Mary walks
down to the water's edge
and there she hangs her head
to find herself faded
a shadow of what she once was
She said "How long have I been sleeping
and why do I feel so old
why do I feel so cold
my heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go"
With trembling hands she reaches up
a stranger's flesh is offered
and I would be the last to know
I would be the last the let it show
I would be the last to go
Take her hand
she will lead you through the fire
give you back hope
and hope that you won't take too much
respecting what is left
she cradled us
she held us in her arms
unselfish in her suffering she could not understand
that no one seemed to have the time
to cherish what was given
and I would be the last to know
and I would be the last to let it show
I would be the last to go...
Mary, I'll love her all my life
But she'll never be my wife
'Cos she broke my heart, broke my trust
Now I can't believe that she's serious
I love her, I will never marry Mary
No, I'll never marry Mary
Restless and wild, she runs away
Comes back and tells me she's here to stay
Tried to give her time but she wanted more
Now I just don't feel like I did before
I love her, but I will never marry Mary
No, I'll never marry Mary
Mary, tried to understand
But I can't stay here at your command
I got to break away, it's been too long
Still I can't say all the feeling's gone
I love her, I will never marry Mary
Oh, no, I never marry Mary
I never marry Mary
Said I never marry Mary
Never marry Mary, never marry Mary
I said I never, I know I never
I know I never, I think I might never
I know it might never, I wish I could but I'll never
I'd like to do it but I never
[Verse:]
First thing when I wake up
I say my prayers, then I blaze up
A plate of breakfast that my girl chef'd up
Morning pretty with no make up, yup
Now that I'm woken I'm smoking, layered my body in
clothing
Chevrolet doors open, Forgiato's rolling
On the interstate like niggas was shooting at your
homie
Zooming in and out of lanes, booming under U.G.K.
Got both my phones with me, hit me if it's 'bout some
cake
Soldier about face, I'm colder than ice age
I'm polar, I'm frozen, I'm golden, my name say
That I'm all about my money, put some racks up everyday
In the studio get Pluto high, we lay tracks everyday
Mucho loot though, if you grind for it mane'
Get some shine for ya' mane', but that money just ain't
gonna wait around for ya' mane'
Tell your bitch to roll up something if she ride for
ya' mane
Otherwise you gotta kick that ho off the side of ya'
mane
Outside of your mane', tell them niggas that you with
Ain't no more crying 'bout it mane, planning, never
taking action
Pocket full of lint, wondering why this shit ain't
happen
Homie that don't make no sense
Niggas on this side be stacking, every tape a brick
And we treat this shit just like it's trapping
And I'm getting rich, you can tell from the strength
Of the scent, of what I just lit but I would never pass
First thing when I wake up
I say my prayers, then I blaze up
Get dressed sharp as a razor
And then it's back to getting cake bruh'
[Outro: x4]
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes
You're covered in rain
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always stay, Mary
Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary she moves behind me
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
Everytime the snow drifts, everytime the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts, she's always there
Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruin
you're covered in secrets
Your'e covered in treetops, you're covered in birds
who can sing a million songs without any words
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
on some sunny day and always stay
I got a girl and her name is Mary
I like to shock her on a basis daily
I like to push you over into my stream
I like to point out that her teeth are green
I tell you stories that you won't understand
I'll have you eating from the palm of my hand
I'm gonna push you further into my dream
The back of every head hold something obscene
Ahh, ay ya ya
Ahh, ay ya ya
I get the feeling you're not ordinary
I got a head like falling masonry
I'll cut your strings, ah, yes, a puppet machine
I watch you drop and fall apart at the seams
I meant to get you, let there be no doubt
You wanna try and get your teeth knocked out
I'm gonna push you further into my dream
The back of every head holds something obscene
Ahh, ay ya ya
Ahh, ay ya ya
Ahh, ay ya ya
Ahh, ay ya ya
Ahh, ay ya ya
Oh God!
What time is it?
Is it 2 am?
Let's go!
Two cop cars, man I'm in trouble
Or maybe is just.. I swear I'm seeing double
I swear I'm seeing stars, are we on a shadow?
Kiss you on the lips, we're the perfect couple,
Girl, I love you!
She got me on cloud...

And every time you whip her, she fell off the room

Got me burning the whole night

And they're chasing me like woof, woof, woof
Chasing me like woof, woof

I got a lot to say, I don't hold my tongue
I just hold money, don't hold me up
Rolling in more green and all in one
You got more to.. and she rose up
See, I'll be off in that tree
People told me I shouldn't be
But early on y mom told me that everything green is good for me
I wake up to three girls, my role mode is Hugh Hef
I gave girl a T-shirt, since she gave the whole crew naked
...two step, my knee strong and..
My socks and drawers all around the crib
Looking like I'm afraid of moving!
Bitch, I'm in the G, I'mma OG
Two figures on my joint, one to the police
Chorus:

Just to kiss, oh and I'll miss your goodbye i hi hi hi hi hi
It was a fine day in the fifth grade
When mary may let bobby walk her home from school
He had her books in hand
And he was listening to every word she said
Like it was the gospel of the prophecies
And he loved the way her hair fell across her dress
Went home singing who wrote the book of love
And try a little tenderness
The next day on the playground
Bobby sat mary down on the swingset behind the sandbox
And she said, "Bobby I just wanna play,
So what is it you have to say?"
He said, "Mary, marry me.
We could live out by the sea
Like they do on the movie screen
Oh, marry me, Mary May
Before you go back to play"
It was graduation day
They were waiting on a plane to take mary away
Said, "there's nothing left for me here but you
Bobby, I hope you can find yourself through
There's so much that I wish to know
And I have to do this on my own
And I hope you can understand
Bobby, write me when you can"
He said, "take my high school ring
So time to time now you can think of me
And there's just one more thing before you leave"
He said, "Mary, marry me
We could live out by the sea
Oh, like they do on the movie screens
Oh, marry me, Mary May,
Before you are fly away"
There's so much time has past since that day
And Mary stopped writing years ago
And Bobby never took his music on the road
Guess he never really gave up hope
Though Mary she's got everything she thought she wanted
Got a Phd, she is an independent business woman
Climbin' up the corporate ladder
Though it really don't seem to matter
She is lonely beyond belief
So one day she went home
Looking for the only love she'd ever known
She found him once again
Playing circuit at the Holiday Inn
Still singing the song about the one he lost long ago
Just goes to show you never know
She took his hand in hers
Not everything she had planned and rehearsed
She said, "Bobby, marry me
We could live in a apartment building with the window
We could take in movies on the weekend
Or plan our vacation
Take a honeymoon by the sea
Oh Bobby, won't you just marry me?
Won't you just marry me?
Oh please, marry me"
It was a fine day in the fifth grade
I remember the day, I was driving away, as I stopped at a small city-park
A girl came along, she was humming a song, hitch-hiking down in the dark
Her name it is Mary, she come down from Derry, and her age it was 22
She missed the last bus, for to go to Belfast, and she didn´t know what to do
Ah, ah, ah, nananana, nananana
Ah, ah, ah, nananana, nananana
We went to a bar, near a town called Omagh, and I ordered two pints and a gin
We talked about busses, and taxis and life, untill we forgot where we´ve been
And two hours later, I asked the old waiter, for a double-room and a last drop
He gave us the key after he gets a fee, and Mary kissed me as we reached the top
Ah, ah, ah, nananana, nananana
Ah, ah, ah, nananana, nananana
Next morning I awoke, she´d vanished like smoke, I found the room empty and bare
Except the short letter, it said ´twill be better, to remember the time that we shared
But I can´t forget you, and all that I´m into, is a whole lot of time to spent
In all my day dreaming just when the moon´s beaming, I´m longing for to meet you again
Ah, ah, ah, nananana, nananana
She's looking out the north to a galaxy
A faithful boat trip 'cross a northern sea
Along a frosty window she writes her name
Oh daughter, this is how she became
Mary, go ahead and have your little baby
Mary, toughest of the tough
But still a lady
Oh, I've got all the courage I'll ever need
I wax poetic on my enemies
The century is raging but so are we
No matter what I know I got a symphony called
Mary, go ahead and have your little baby
Mary, toughest of the tough
But still a lady
Out of dark days
Stay up airplane
Take my ice sleigh
Stay up airplane
Go ahead and have your little baby
Mary, toughest of the tough
But still a lady
Mary, toughest of the tough
I’m Mary
I’m three
I’m older than my brother
To day I go to school with my mother
She told me
I could be happy
And I’ve put my new dress on
But what ‘s going on ?
We went into such a big home
Then mother left me all alone
A lady who’s name was Mrs Trade
Said to me"Mary don’t be afraid"
Mother, mother take me back home
She told us a lot of nice stories
It was so funny
But when I spilled my milk on the book
She flared up and give me a bad look
The afternoom we went to the playground
There were many torps all around
But when I tried to taste the sand
Raging Mrs Trade tapped my hand
Suddenly a ball hit my head
Such a pain and I lost my midday’s bread
All the children were laughing
Alone with my tears I was thinking :
Mary Lyrics
Marvin:
Mary, it's time for me to tell the truth
To tell you how I feel, yeh, uh
Aston:
You used to turn away when ever I thought you would stay
I know sometimes I made you worry
Listen Mary
You made such an effort just to get my attention
How can you blank me baby coz I didn't know
JLS:
"girl you never told me tell me whyy ohhh why
Mary, Mary, I Know That You Want Me,
So I'm saying sorry, sorry
That I Neva gave you Time
Maryy, Mary, to see the heartache, to see the ship sail?,
I'll Neva B The Man That You Need
Aston:
Sometimes when I wish on stars
Pretty girl you'll be there by my side
There will be no temptation, that's just imagination
Maybe because I miss you
All the rest is down to being shady, shady
If you had faught your corner, we'd be happy ever after
Marvin:
So save your questions, cause there aint no answers
I can't help, you're on your own
Chorus...
Marvin:
Mary, I wish you would've said something.
I mean how was I supposed to know?
I'm sorry about how I treated you.
Kept you hanging
I guess I gotta be cruel to be kind.
I'm sorry.
Chorus
Aston:
Say I'm sorry
I never meant to make you cry
I'm sorry
Mary liked to run around, And break the hearts of all the lonely boys in town, Again, Round and round and round she goes, You know she proves she just dont give a damn, For you, Ain't that so? Running on and on she stands, You know she's living her life without a better plan, Like you. And she just don't know, She steals the show, It's all the same, Another boring game. Running on and on she goes, You know she's living her life, But still it just won't show, Like you, Stuck in the middle, Not knowing it was true, you can't trust the truth, Because the truth was just a lie, To you, To you. And she just don't know, She steals the show, It's all the same, Another boring game. She runs around, She runs around, She's running out on you, She runs around, She runs around, She's running out on you, She runs around, She runs around, There's nothing you can do, She runs around, She runs around, She's running out on you. I don't know what Mary's gonna do, Then she's standing in the rain, She says she only sings the blues, And down and down and out she goes, And she leaves, Behind her broken heart, Her broken bones, For you, And stuck in the middle, Not knowing what she's done, And you can't trust yourself, And you know it's just the same old one, Was just a lie, To you, To you. And she just don't know, She steals the show, It's all the same, Another boring game. She runs around, She runs around, She's running out on you, She runs around, She runs around, She's running out on you, She runs around, She runs around, There's nothing you can do, She runs around, She runs around, She's running out on you. Mary liked to run around, And break the hearts of all the lonely boys in town, Again, Round and round and round she goes, You know she proves she just dont give a damn, For you, For you. And she just don't know, She steals the show, It's all the same, Another boring game. She runs around, She runs around, She's running out on you, She runs around, She runs around, She's running out on you, She runs around, She runs around, There's nothing you can do, She runs around, She runs around, She's running out on you, And I don't know what Mary's gonna do.
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this
way?
I was dumb enough not to settle down when you wanted to
Now I'm sittin' here going crazy trying to crawl back to
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?
But I was smart enough to come to my senses
Be who you need me to be
And if you say that I'm too late
I'll curl up and die in misery
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way
I remember our first kiss on the 4th of July
I'll never miss another one of those
I'll be by your side
If my foolish heart was wrong,
this truly was never meant to be
Well I only hope that he'll count his lucky stars
and love you as much as me
Mary, take your big brown eyes and look away
You're searching in vain
Mary, take your red heart and turn around
They'll make you insane
You know you're getting beat in the morning
Spend the night on the tiles
You know you're only searching for glory
But now you've gone and missed it by miles
Mary, take your healing hands and turn around
There's nothign to say
Mary, take your words of love and tear 'em out
They're starting to fade
You know you're gonna hurt in the morning
Spend the night all alone
You know you're only searching for glory
But now you've gotta face it alone
You know you're gonna hurt in the morningSpend the night pon the toles
You know you're olyu searching for gloryu
But now you've gone and missed it by miles
Mary, you know this life's so sweet
That the stuff that ain't got dead?
Mary you know we both have dreams
But you're the one who's gotta live 'em instead
I love the tone that's in your laugh
Gasping for an extra breath
Waiting for the time to pass
I believe in days ahead
Don't spend another night alone
Cross and wishing you were dead
Mary, you should'nt let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man
I've had it easy now you see
When I'm down your'e always there
Standing by to comfort me
Someday we'll go round the world
I'll make the journey so sublime
I know you're not a travelln' girl
Mary, you should'nt let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man
Cause I'd give everything I have
Forget all the things that bring me joy
If you could have one day
Pure and simple happiness
Until that moment comes
I'll be here where I've always been
I'm gonna be your friend
Until the day I die
Mary, you should'nt let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I was in the other room
When handsome was gettin' liver and laces
Couldn't save the family
'Cause heroes wear masks and Lycra
Out, out, out, out, out, Mary get out
You're freezin'
In, in, in, in, in, brother get in
And get your head kicked
In, in, in, in
'Cause it's in, in, in, in
Down, down, down, down, down
Heard you fell down
And you scraped your knee
Up, up, up, up, up
Kick yourself up
And get plaster on your cut
'Cause it's sewn up, and it's sewn
You wish that it was you
You wish that it was you
You wish that it was you
So, you've got yourself in a hole
You can't get out
I won't be there, I can't be around
So hold me down, I'll let you know
About the places we can't go
I won't let go and I won't hold you back
And I'm fallin' away
I've paid the price and I'm willing to pay
So willing to pay the price you paid
And the reason I can't stay
'Cause you live so far away
You wish that it was you
You wish that it was you
You wish that it was you
You wish that it was you
You wish that it was you
You wish that it was you
So out, out, out, out, Mary get out
'Cause you're freezing
And in, in, in, in, brother get in
Brother get in
Brother get in
She lifts the cup up to her lips
And leaves reality behind
She looks away and takes a sip
She's lost what can she find
Her thoughts become weary
She feels a step behind
Her life's been slowly slippin'
Away from friends and time
CHORUS:
Mary drinks
And Mary thinks
And soon she'll lie down
Just to break down and cry
It's so degrading
She is slowly fading
Mary drinks then she'll
Break down and cry
Mary weeps then she sleeps
One more day slippin' away
She's drowning in the shallow end
The rules she can't obey
On the surface so callous
Silent screams subside
A life without a purpose
Her will has already died
CHORUS:
Mary drinks
And Mary thinks
And soon she'll lie down
Just to break down and cry
It's so degrading
She is slowly fading
Mary drinks then she'll
Break down and cry
Shadow dreaming
Can't feel a thing
Her ends they start to fray
And then she fades away
Shadow dreaming
She can't know pain
Can't feel a thing
Can't feel a thing
She can't feel a thing
Mary drinks
And Mary thinks
And soon she'll lie down
Break down and cry
CHORUS:
Mary drinks
And Mary thinks
And soon she'll lie down
Just to break down and cry
It's so degrading
She is slowly fading
Mary drinks then she'll
I was waiting
For a sign of something
Was there only one thing
I could call my own
I was looking
For a new beginning
For a way of winning
All that I was owed
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
You bring it back to me
I was dreaming
Of a new day dawning
With the Monday morning
Running in my eyes
Oh, Mary
How could they know
First they took my heart
Then they break my soul
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
You give it back to me
I was hoping
For a moon at midnight
For a flash of sunlight
In the northern sky
I was searching
For the dreams of dreamers
For the scheme of schemers
Where the modest lie
Oh, Mary
How could they know
First they took my heart
Then they break my soul
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
You give it back to me
Oh, Mary
How could they know
First they took my heart
Then they break my soul
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
Mary, Mary
Put on your white lace
Mary, Mary
Put on your white lace
Mary, Mary
I know you'll never leave
Mary, Mary
I know you'll never leave
Mary, Mary
Put on your white lace
Mary, Mary
Put on your white lace
Mary, Mary
Put on your white lace
Mary, Mary
Put on your white lace
Oh the cold wet wind blew over the heather
You wrote Charlie and Mary for forever
On the back of a rock
That you picked up on the way
And in that perfect moment
I nearly ruined it
By saying I love you
And nearly meaning it
But you know I would never waste those words
Oh when I last saw Mary
She lied and said it was her birthday
Oh when I last saw mary
She lied and said it was her birthday
But then she
Tried to kiss me
And I said Don't Bother
You know we don't really love one another
And there's no use
In burning out this flame
Oh but then things changed in a way I couldn't predict
She said I love you and it suddenly clicked
That she was only saying what she wanted me to hear
And I said
Please don't lie to me Mary
And I said
Please don't lie to me Mary
I said
Please don't lie
Oh it makes me cry in bed
I said
Please don't lie
Oh it makes me cry in bed
I said
Please don't lie
Oh it makes me cry in bed
And she said
Shut your mouth
You don't know what you're talking about
Oh she said
Shut your mouth
Little Miss Mary Sunshine had a bad day
She says it’s overrated, living this way
She took her hair down, left her sweater on the floor
She’s not a nice girl anymore
She says I won’t apologize
Stand up girls, and dry your eyes
And I’ll see you on the other side of good
Where we sing Na,Na,Na,Nada,Nada,Na Na,Na,Na,Nada,Nada,Na
She paints her fingernails in black, she’s on the run
On the wrong side of the tracks where life is fun
Points a finger, but there’s nobody to blame
All the people in her memory look the same
She says I won’t apologize
Stand up girls, and dry your eyes
And I’ll see you on the other side of good
Where we sing Na,Na,Na,Nada,Nada,Na Na,Na,Na,Nada,Nada,Na
Everybody’s favorite girl
Doesn’t fake it anymore
I’m okay with who I am today
Everybody’s gotta change
I’m just doing what I can
Could you love me anyway?
Where we sing Na,Na,Na,Nada,Nada,Na Na,Na,Na,Nada,Nada,Na
She says I won’t apologize
Stand up girls, and dry your eyes
And I’ll see you on the other side of good
Where we sing Na,Na,Na,Nada,Nada,Na Na,Na,Na,Nada,Nada,Na
Little Miss Mary Sunshine had a bad day
Mary is my best friend
She makes me my tea
She let's me stay around her place
When there's nowhere else to be
There's nothing in her bedroom
Just a bed and a TV
And it's okay if I'm in her way
I just sit and drink my tea
I'm so lonely
I ain't done much lately
When you come looking
You'll find me sleeping soundly
Mary
Mary keeps me smiling
Even when I'm down
She let's me stay around her place
When there's no-one else around
There's nothing in her bedroom
Just a bed and a TV
And it's okay if I'm in her way
I just sit and drink my tea
I'm so lazy
I ain't done much lately
When you come looking
You'll find me sleeping soundly
And when she comes around
She says I always look so down
And yeah, she's always right
She makes me feel alright
I'm so lazy,
I ain't done much lately
When you come looking
You'll find me sleeping soundly
you can't tell me
anything at all
all your knowing
will never stand, it'll fall
but i've tried you see
and it's time to move along
you can't poison me
if i'm never here at all
you don't know mary
she's never bothered you
you don't know mary
she's turned her back on you
so much that's said
has fallen on deaf ears
you don't know how far
inside the darkness spread
but the truth, it lied
as it wandered to your soul
she don't know about knowing
you need to let her go
you don't know mary
she's never bothered you
you don't know mary
she's turned her back on you
she won't be held down
she won't be around long
she's gone of to wander
you don't know mary
she's never bothered you
you don't know mary
Mary, Mary like to dream all day
When cold eyes would pull her
Down to the ground. Oh, yeah
She'd say, "Why, oh why has the world such pain
When you and I could take some time and float away"
But the days got hard as time slipped by
And it just didn't seem fair
How she'd treat me during those times
Oh, there's no reason
Mary don't you understand?
In her eyes shined a far off light
When she looked back on days
When everything was alright
She said, "Life's a stream of broken dreams
And I'd hate some day
To think what might have been."
Mary, don't you understand?
Eyes as blue as the cheapest streets
That you build your hotels on
You take the pennies I'm betting with
Because cash is cash
I steal your whiskey and cigarettes
From behind the old television set
It's still got a dial
When I get sick, you smile
Oh, oh, are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh, oh, are you watching?
Mary watch over me
When I was bloodied and broken
From a deadbeat kind of love
You laughed as you held my hand
And said, ?Go on and cry"
"But let that be the very last thing
That you give him darling
Now let's go on in the house
And make a voodoo doll?
Oh, oh, are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh, oh, are you watching?
Mary watch over me
Got a faded photograph
Lying just like me
I folded it in half
I keep it with me
Oh, you didn't go quietly
Into the great white shining light
You were hopped up on love
And singing Johnny Cash
You looked up and you yelled at me
You said, "Bad is cheap and good is free
So don't pull any fast ones kid
'Cause I?ll be watching you?
Oh, oh, are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh, oh, are you watching?
Do you recognize me
Here on this sleeper train
And do you feel the pain
Growing into the night, Mary
And I can feel the taste
Of your third birthday cake
Remember how it was
To hold you into my arms, Mary
It was there
The summer lights around
I was there
His hand upon my knees
And we're gone
Across this sunny streets
And we're gone
The day you died, Mary
And we go faster now
Together throught the fields
Here on this sleeper train
And I can touch your face, Mary
The precious things we've done
Hidden under my skin
I let you sleep a while
I let you sleep a while, Mary
It was there
The summer lights around
I was there
His hand upon my knees
And we're gone
Across this sunny streets
And we're gone
Immaculate conception, yeah right
Crazing Mary, good that you lied
A test tomb baby, seed of the lord
Breaking the law with the man next door
Blame it on it an angel, they’ll believe
Joseph will wonder but you know he won’t leave
Cause they all love you, I still do
Magic in the air swirling all around you
Mary, Mary under a veil of stars
You changed the world,
You broke my Heart
Thank you Mary, you saved me too
They’d stone us both if they ever knew
You sold out the manger, well all right
They Mystery
They say that he’s the one
Brother Joseph got a king for a stepson
Mary, Mary under a veil of stars
You changed the world,
You broke my Heart
Thank you Mary, you saved me too
They’d stone us both if they ever knew
Mary kissed me, we lost control
The oldest story never told
Crazy Mary, ever divine
They’ll never know the baby was mine
Mary, Mary under a veil of stars
You changed the world,
You broke my Heart
Thank you Mary, you saved me too
Mary, are you the mother of my God
Mary, you're sweeter than corn on the cob, it's scary
Mary, I'm in love with you
Mary, you seem so capable and free
Mary, It's rare I make love in my dreams
My best buddy dared me
To ask you if you'd marry me someday
Are you gonna be falling
For me.
Mary, I never meant to make you cry
Mary I know fantasies are full of lies
Are you gonna be falling
As he walks through the door
With her hair in the wind
She's my golden girl
There goes Mary walking down on a sunny road, too willing
Passing right pass all the guards with a smile we sure
all remember
She looks back once and she laughs out loud
She turns her head and gets back to the original mission
There's a castle built on a cloud
Just like momma used to raise you by
She walks out to the door
Strange noise twists open
And she changed her smile with precision
Then the man walks out the door
Takes her hand and tells her he wants to see more
Shakes her head and turns away
Shakes, and she climbs away
All she's lookin' for is a place
A place where everything is okay
A place where she can rest her head
Rest her head...
Rest her head...
Two Points of View
(Music/ Lyrics: Carlos Santana, Chester D. Thompson, Alex Ligertwood, Greg Walker)
You, always making promises
Who gets the blame for your mistakes
You, made a game of politics
Now fear and guilt on your face
But I can't feel your pain
And I won't share your shame
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
I don't mind walking in the rain
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain
Love is the sound that makes me sing
I love to play a melody
But you can't hear the sound
But you can't, you can't feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
I don't mind walking in the rain
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain
Love is the sound that makes me sing
I love to play a melody
But you can't hear the sound
But you can't, you can't feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
Two points of view
Two points of view
Two points of view
One for me, and one for you
But you can't hear the sound
But you can't, you can't feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
Two points of view
Two points of view
Two points of view
One for me and one for you
Two points of view
Two points of view
If you're looking for Mary
She's no longer here
She left on a horseback
Few minutes ago
With her eyes catching fire
And her hands were in the air
And I think that she's forgotten
That her bills were due
Weeks ago
Clouds from hell
Carry her away
Fearless like
Angel knights
She rides into the darkness
Of her dizzy world
Arms and legs just floating
Flowing in the wildness of her deep, blue dreams
The money was wasted
In a businessman's brew
The money was wasted
Now she's wasted too
With her eyes catching fire
And her body turned cold
And I think that she's forgotten
The way she breaths
Clouds from hell
Carry her away
Fearless like
Angel knights
She rides into the darkness
Of her dizzy world
Arms and legs just floating
I woke up and Mary was still gone
Thought if I stopped hurting she would come back
To me
Walk right through the door and say, "Ahhh huhhhh!
I was only joking - didn't you look silly crying!"
But I wake up and Mary is still gone
I looked at the clock and it was
Still
Lying on the floor exactly where I threw it
Both hands smashed against its silver face
My feeble attempt to stop
Time but time goes on
And I wake up and Mary is still gone
Chorus:
Mary was it necessary
To leave before the party
I know it's selfish to say
You always brought the cake now
What will I eat with all these tears?
I looked at the list and saw her name
Kick myself, she never got an invitation
Kid myself, I'm sure somehow she knew
My stupid attempt to find
Some way to move on
But I wake up and Mary is still gone
(Hoffmann)
Sometimes when I open my eyes
I see the things that I can't hide
Emptiness hanging from the shadows on the wall
Sometimes when I open my ears
Hear all the things I don't want to hear
4AM, faith is lost, she's screaming out again
And I say Mary, Mary
Mother full of light
When you gonna come down
And save us
Save us from this night
Oh, I say Mary, Mary
When you gonna hear
When you gonna come down
And take away
This bucket full
This bucket full of tears?
I tried to compromise
Saw the world through other's eyes
In the end, the battle came and left me on the ground
So many ways to fall
We seem to find them all
Tripping through the rubble as we fight within ourselves
And I say Mary, Mary...
Mary is my lover
She makes me my tea
She lets me stay round her place
When there's nowhere else to be
There's nothing in her bedroom
Just a bed and TV
and it's OK if i'm in her way
I just sit and drink my tea
I'm so Lonely
I 'aint done much
Lately
When you come lookin'
You'll find me
Sleeping
Soundly
Mary
Mary keeps me smilin'
Even when I'm down
She lets me stay round her place
When there's no-one else around
There's nothing in her bedroom
Just a bed and TV
and it's OK if i'm in her way
I just sit and drink my tea
I'm so lazy
I 'aint done much
Lately
When you come lookin'
You'll find me
Sleeping
Soundly
And when she comes around
She says i always look so down
And yeah she's always right
She makes me feel alright
I walk your story in my mind
I slip into that day and dream away
I see the secret in the smile you wear
And the gift you hold inside
When most had lost all hope for
You held on
It was a clever costume He wore
To fool them all
Oh mary
Rock the baby close
Oh mary
Love binds
The child is there
The kingdom in His eyes
Oh mary
What a surprise
They want a king
The good that they had hoped for
Is what they had failed to see
It was a dream that you held anchored
The truth for you and me
Oh mary
Rock the baby close
Oh mary
Love binds
The child is there
The Kingdom in His eyes
Oh mary
What a surprise
I feel the wonder in your stare
There's a Christ-child laying there
Oh mary
Rock the baby close
Oh mary
Love binds
Oh the child is there
The kingdom in His eyes
Oh mary
What a surprise
Oh mary
Rock the baby close
The child is there
Oh mary
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes
You're covered in rain
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always stay, mary
Jesus says mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of
glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary she moves behind me
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
Everytime the snow drifts, everytime the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts, she's always there
Jesus said mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of
glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruin
You're covered in secrets
Your'e covered in treetops, you're covered in birds
Who can sing a million songs without any words
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always stay
Mary I just called to tell you
that both our children are on drugs
And the way the teens are going
they'll be dead
long before either one of us
Last night I saw Darren
He didn't recognise me
He offered me out
Didn't recognise his own father
Tell me Mary – what's it all about?
Mary I'm sorry
Mary I'm scared
Mary I still love you
Mary are you there?
Mary Mary Mary Mary
Now I, I like a bit of fun now and then
And I know sometimes I have too much
And I know things are different now
But drugs Mary
Fucking drugs!
Mary I'm sorry
Mary I'm scared
Mary I still love you
Mary are you there?
Okay, I haven't kept up with the payments
And okay, I know I wasn't always there
And okay, yeah I could lose a little weight
But Mary tell me that you care
Mary Mary Mary Mary
Mary I'm sorry
Mary I'm scared
Mary I still love you
You put the blood in my veins
And the lips on my face
And the tongue that I speak with
And you spun the skin 'round my bones
Put the spine in my back
And the voice that I sing with
And you gave me fingers and the hands in the hair
And you did it without even trying
And you gave me everything I need to live
And now I need to leave you behind.
And you taught me how to love wrong
And I learned it so long ago
Now I can't change
And you gave me two eyes to look with
And now that I'm looking it's looking so strange.
But you put this pain in my heart
And you put this shame in my soul
And you wrapped your memory around me
So I wouldn't die in the rain and the cold.
And all the days I lost track
When you never came back
With my heart in your sack
And you put the fear in my mind
That what I would love would just leave me behind.
Well girl don't tell me where you've been
'Cause I'll never believe you anyway
And don't you tell me where you're going
When you go and hide don't on Mexico Way.
And you know it's always the same
When I do wrong it's you that I blame
And ever since I was a child
When I go wild, I still speak your name
Mary stares out window
Panes and smiles at
Friends that no one else
Can see
She laughs and sings and
Dances and everybody
Thinks mary's something
Special no fairy tales to
Hide her deepest dreams
And playful schemes not
Buried deep
Inside oh mary
Mary touched the sky
Today she mimicked every
Motion that i made she
Laughed at every single
Thing i said and every
Game we played
Mary's something special
No fairy tales to hide her
Deepest dreams and play-
Ful schemes not buried
Deep inside
Mary knows what kind-
Ness is she knows a smile
Means someone's proud
Of her she knows that
Dreams wishes and
Princesses my be the only
Cure she finds that she's
Different than all the rest
And she's pleased so help
Me find the mary in me
Mary has a special need
For love affection just like
You and I she moves my
World through her simple
Steps and with her simple
Mind
Mary's something special
No fairy tales to hide her
Deepest dreams and play-
Ful schemes not buried
Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb
Little lamb
Mary had little lamb
Its fleece as white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
Mary went
Mary went
And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go
Then she took it to the butcher shop
Mary's favourite dinner....
LAMB CHOP
Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb
Little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
Now not anymore
It's now a piece of smelly shit
Smelly shit
Smelly shit
It's now a piece of smelly shit
Mary i brought you daisies
And a big box of candies
Johnny said that it’s your birthday
And showed me your favorite song
We can dance make the world spin
Fall down and laugh…na na na
Mary i know i’m not romantic
And i like all the songs you hate
But tonight i promise it will be perfect
Look, i’m wearing a pastels badge
You can make all my little world spin
I wish to make the same with yours…na na na
Mary isn’t it perfect?
Under the moonlight a velvet kiss
Don’t be shy, just close your eyes
There’s too much love in your lips
You can make all my little world spin
Mary
Mary feeds on the city lights
When you let her out walking down the street
So I said, sir I feel all right
And I’m going out
Walking down the street
Mary, well I can guarantee she’s really weary
What’s your game?
Mary well I can guarantee she’s really weary
What’s your way?
So I see cars and flashing lights
And I catch her now
Running down the streets
Little girls do feel alive
Now you made the news, now you made the scene
Mary, well I can guarantee she’s really weary
What’s your game?
Mary well I can guarantee she’s really weary
What’s your way?
Mary, god I want her, said I want her
Mary Lascer
I was waiting
For a sign of something
Was there only one thing
I could call my own
I was looking
For a new beginning
For a way of winning
All that I was owed
Oh, Mary
How could they see

You bring it back to me
I was dreaming
Of a new day dawning
With the Monday morning
Running in my eyes
Oh, Mary
How could they know
First they took my heart
Then they break my soul
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
You give it back to me
I was hoping
For a moon at midnight
For a flash of sunlight

Oh, Mary

You give it back to me
Oh, Mary
How could they know
First they took my heart
Then they break my soul
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
That a creature could be so lonely
It became my deepest wish
To give her my love
To embrace her forever
And to have her find some peace
She who was so lonely
Came with volumes of feeling I have never known
Except perhaps for Mary
And she was always my sister
And she was always my sister
That a creature could be so lonely
It became my deepest wish
To give her my love
To embrace her forever
And to have her find some peace
She who was so lonely
Came with volumes
Volumes of feeling
I have never known
Except perhaps for Mary
[Aceyalone:]
Mary
M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mary
M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mary
Mary make my mind imminent, make mine m-melody delightful?
Give me the funk, a blunt if not some give me the spliff
A pipe full
Chocolate, gotta get raided
Take a hit, shake a bit, I'm stimulated
Don't be afraid, take a toke and choke until you kill it
Just go away with the smoke and smoke until you feel it
Miss Mary-juana wanna marry me and make me happy
I know you wanna, I can see your green eyes starin' at me
Those who know can understand the life of Mary
Those who glow, they live the life of lovin Mary
Those who grow can see the life preserve in Mary
Those opposed...
[Mikah 9:]
Do you wanna know how to control and separate your ego from your soul?
Come follow me, come follow me equality grows
And those who oppose legality then their faility shows
Thier virtu-o-so, it won't hurt you, no
So, roll, roll, roll your joint and anoint
To the point ? to ignite
Get a light, better strike
A match a bright green batch
Of buddha, tye, indo, the sess
Would it tie into your stress
Yes, yes, this is cannabis
Indeed I mean ?
M-M-M, M-M-M, M-M-M, M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mary
Boss, buds, got you in love
Took a tug and presto blood vessels
Love the drug into your system
You're feelin' high, your inner eye
Oh my, see the sky, good bye
It's everywhere so why do they lie
You wanna try to deny, be shy
What a guy, can you keep a secret?
Hemp is a temporary pimp for those that need
He know not, but a hot bowl of pot to free his soul
And one planted seed
[Aceyalone:]
M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mary
Some call you ganjah, pot, grass, ?, gold
Take an indo load, in load, unload, take a hit, hold, sold
At the nearest corner right down the road
The more he growed, he showed, unfold a twenty and get blowed
It glowed in the dark, so park your car and spark a bowl
Whether young or old we all love M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mary
And since me no sense is illegal
I'mma toke on my blunt and smoke when I want and fly...
M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mary

Mary Jane attracts merry kings and Queen Marys
Mary sings fifteen Marys
Mary has a little thing for green Marys
The government is lovin' it, you dealin' it
They killin' it
So I defend the herbal blessing with verbal expression
So roll, roll, roll your joint gently at the seams
All that you want, and all you lost
Running wild through your head
Just another little thing that you think about
Lying in your bed
Little things that remind you
Of the days gone by
Best not to look behind you
Keep your eyes on the sky
I thought she was the goddess
When she walked in through that door
Oh Mary, I thought you wanted more
Mary, don't come down here no more
It all got too much
It's kind of hard to keep yourself from falling
When you're, when you're out of luck
I saw her once at the station
Carrying her guilt in her arms
Ain't it weird how the one's who say they love you
Are the ones that do you harm
I thought she was the goddess
When she walked in through that door
Oh Mary, I thought you wanted more
More than just a passing phase, waning up on high
Oh Mary, I thought that you could fly... you could fly
Mary, Mary, Mary, hail Mary
Mary, Mary, Mary, hail Mary
I thought she was the goddess
When she walked in through that door
Oh Mary, I thought you wanted more
More than just a passing phase, waning up on high
Oh Mary, I thought that you could fly... you could fly
Mary, Mary, Mary, hail Mary
Mary
Healing herself
Healing the world and me as well
We rarely see how far we shine
She's digging in
Seeking her answers there within
Leaving a younger girl behind
Mary is on her way to womanhood
Mary is on her way to home
Mary is like a play
Can't read ahead
More to be said
Mary is like a living koan
Mary Christmas
Mary New Year
Mary, let your heart be known
Caring for strays
Seems like that's always been her way
She sees what other people don't
She took me in
Knew when I needed most a friend
Room to defend, and room to grow
Mary is on her way to womanhood
Mary is on her way to home
Mary is like a play
Can't read ahead
More to be said
Mary is like a living koan
Mary Christmas
Mary New Year

I woke up and Mary was still gone
Thought if I stopped hurting she would come back
To me
Walk right through the door and say, "Ahhh huhhhh!
I was only joking - didn't you look silly crying!"
But I wake up and Mary is still gone
I looked at the clock and it was
Still
Lying on the floor exactly where I threw it
Both hands smashed against its silver face
My feeble attempt to stop
Time but time goes on
And I wake up and Mary is still gone
Chorus:
Mary was it necessary
To leave before the party
I know it's selfish to say
You always brought the cake now
What will I eat with all these tears?
I looked at the list and saw her name
Kick myself, she never got an invitation
Kid myself, I'm sure somehow she knew
My stupid attempt to find
Some way to move on
But I wake up and Mary is still gone
Oh wake up, yeah wake up, little Mary
Yes, there'll be a fine white cake, flowers for your hair
You will see Aunt Julie Ann, no I won't be there
Throw the rice, dance and sing, have a real good time
If anybody asks, say I'm doing fine
Wake up, oh wake up, little Mary
There is no time to play
'Cause it's your mother's wedding day
I will always be your father, no your name won't change
And you will always have this room that will stay the same
Pretty soon it will be Christmas, we can buy a tree
And you can always call Tennessee
Oh wake up, yeah wake up, my little Mary
There is no time to play
It's your mother's wedding day
Your mother and me we were only twenty
On that beautiful spring morn
It was a fine day, a lovin' memory
But nothing like the day that you were born
Wake up, come on now wake up, my little Mary
There is no time to play
'Cause it's your mother's wedding day
It's your mother's wedding day
Oh Mary, Oh Mary, Oh Mary don't you weep
Oh Martha, oh Martha, Martha don't you moan
For though they persue you, they never will catch you
The horse and the rider are sinking like a stone
For Pharoah's army, hook line and sinker
Are drowning in the sea
The torn temple veil, the invitation for you and for me
The ancient of days provides the grain for the harvest
'till we're bringing in the sheeves
Look to the day, when he will wipe away all of our tears
Oh Mary, don't you weep
Oh Mary, dear mother, or Mary don't you weep
Oh Mary, dear Magdalene, Mary don't you moan
For though the grave holds Him, it never could keep Him
He's died, now He's rising, now ascending to His throne
The ancient of days provides the grain for the harvest
'till we're bringing in the sheeves
Look to the day, when he will wipe away all of our tears
Oh Mary, don't you weep
Oh Mary, Oh Mary, Oh Mary don't you weep
Oh Martha, oh Martha, Martha don't you moan
For though they persue you, they never will catch you
I'm driving down the highway
With Mary on my mind
I'm driving down the highway
And my tears begin to dry
And I never thought that this could be
That for once in my life I'd be so free
Suddenly my curses, flashes and fears
Fall behind
Suddenly down the highway
With Mary on my mind
Mary, we all want to live around you.
Mary, we can't stand to be without you.
And she knows when we come
and get things done in her big house.
And we, we're gonna drive across
this ancient land only to see her smile.
Mary, we all want to live around you.
Mary, we can't stand to be without you.
And she, she will do anything to ease our pain
and she won't ask for anything back.
But we, you know, all of us forever will be
in grateful debt to her.
Mary, we all want to live around you.
Mary, love came around the day we found you.
Around you we want to be,
we need to be around you.
Mary, we all want to live around you.
Mary, we can't stand to be without you.
Mary, we all want to live around you.
