Mary

[Verse 1]

The fortune teller told me that my life was bound to fail

She said, "Don't make too many plans, that train goes off the rails

Present is a gift, so don't look it in the mouth"

She said a lot of things like this, she filled my head with doubt

[Chorus]

The fortune teller's name was Mary and the things she told me were so scary

But in the end, none of it came true

In the cover of that night, I leaned over into the candlelight and I said, "Mary, Oh Mary

Oh, Mary, does somebody lovе you?"

[Post-Chorus]

Do you need somebody

To keep you warm

Do you need somebody

To teach you how to mourn

Whеn their gone

[Verse 2]

By certain scales, a life goes by so very fast

Some days go easy, some will wear you like a mask

The present is a gift, so don't look it in the mouth

She said a lot of things like this, she had me freaking out

[Chorus]

If your fortune teller's name is Mary and the things she tells you are so scary

In the end, none of it comes true

In the cover of that night, I leaned over into the candlelight and I said, "Mary, Oh Mary

Oh, Mary, won't you let me love you?"

[Bridge]

I started looking out the window one day as the migratory geese were passing through

I don't go in for crystal balls, but in that moment, I think I knew

Mary had no talent with her with her tea leaves and her cards but she knew that one day she'd bring me pain

I still see her shadow fall across our yard

Hope she wears a jacket when it rains

[Outro]

Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary

Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary

Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary

Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary

Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary

(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary
