Hail Mary

Naomi got married And Flannery became a dancer And Ben got a baby girl 'Fore mama got sick with cancer And Lady believed in something holy So much she went to war Said, I'm not her, you don't know me Gone somewhere I ain't never been before I'm still here Weaving a tear And to achieve goal A story told You got a gift Now give it to me And Hail Mary Oh, go long May I never Do you wrong And Erin flew off the handle And I went to the funeral For her, I lit many candles She was beautiful, I knew her And Pauline made lots of money Turned her soul into gold Said, Time's a funny motherfucker God's toll calling by the window I'm still here In some cheap bar And I can't hear It's all white noise So play it, boys And take it now And I cried watching the runners On the satellite of the marathon And I dreamt my friend was the winner And don't you know it, babe, he was Oh, I love you Oh, my child How the crowd went dizzy How the crowd went wild And you, my friend You feel like fire As the speakers boomed A soft Sinatra New York, New York It's us this time We're all winning We're alive So Hail Mary Oh, go long Cross my heart Hope I die In your arms
