Mary

[Verse 1]

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 says "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."

[Chorus]

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 to let it show-woah-oh

And I would be the last to go

Hmm-mmm-mmm

[Verse 2]

Take her hand, she will lead you through the fire

Oh, and give you back hope and hope that you don't take too much

Respecting what is left

She cradled us, oh, she held us in her arms

Unselfish in her suffering, she could not understand

[Chorus]

That no one seemed to have the time

To cherish what was given

And I would be the last to know

I would be the last to let it show-woah-oh

And I would be the last to go

Du-du-du-du-du

[Instrumental Break]

Mary walks

[Chorus]

I would be the last to know

I would be the last to let it show-woah-oh

And I would be the last to go

Mary walks
