Mary

[Verse 1]

Mary walks

Down to the water's edge

And there she hangs her head

To find herself faded

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"

[Pre-Chorus]

With trembling hands she reaches up

A stranger's flesh is offered

[Chorus]

And I would be the last to know

I would be the last to let it show

I would be the last to go

[Verse 2]

Take her hand

She will lead you through the fire

Oh, and give you back hope

And hope that you won'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

[Pre-Chorus]

That no one seemed to have the time

To cherish what was given

[Chorus]

Oh, 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 walks

Oh, 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
