Lyrics

Mary?s Song

When the night came around again,
Shuffling around in a thousand voices-
I don?t know what it?s gonna be.
But the light came like a ghost within,
Tunneling around with a thousand fingers.
I don?t know what it?s gonna be
Or what it?s gonna mean to me.

When the blood stopped I nearly died.
However I?ve been blessed has taken from me
Joseph?s love, as if he could understand.
Don?t patronize till you?ve had chance to host this creature.
-A lonely place, and then you step inside. Why don?t you step inside?

I never meant to stay. God knows I?ve tried.

Long ago in the dead pale light there was another girl trying just to get it right.
No holds barred as her belly grows. Try to make a difference in the way things go.
Now, try to make amends. Try to make excuses for the shape that I?m in.
It?s not that I?d remember, rather that I would forget
The way I would surrender when he?s tall and spent.

I never meant to stay. God knows I?ve tried.

I never meant to stay. God knows I?ve tried.
I?ve always felt this way.
But this morning the wind that woke me
Opened up a world and said I must be going.
