[Verse 1]
Mary used to dance by the old stone quay
Barefoot, wild, full of reverie
She traded songs for the subway lines
Coffee breaks and overtime
One last time I tried to bring her home
'Cause it's cold out there when you're swimming on your own
So I say to Mary-
[Chorus]
"Hey-ho, take my hand, dance with me in the golden sands"
Oh no, she's so bold, the waves roll out and she won't let go
Holding on too tight
She was washed out by the tide
Yeah, the tidе took Mary
Yeah, the tide took Mary
Yеah, the tide took Mary
[Verse 2]
I found her staring at the shore
Said you don't have to run no more
The tide don't care what you don't know
So come on love, just come home
One last time I tried to hold her close
'Cause it's cold out there when you're swimming on your own
So I said to Mary-
[Chorus]
"Hey-ho, take my hand, dance with me in the golden sands"
Oh no, she's so bold, the waves roll out and she won't let go
Holding on too tight
She was washed out by the tide
Yeah, the tide took Mary
Yeah, the tide took Mary
Yeah, the tide took Mary
[Bridge]
Way up in the night
She was washed out by the tide
Yeah the tide took Mary
[Chorus]
"Hey-ho, take my hand, dance with me in the golden sands"
Oh no, she's so bold, the waves roll out and she won't let go
Holding on too tight
She was washed out by the tide
Yeah, the tide took Mary
