Mary, Don't You Weep

I will be a bridge for you, over what is dark and deep And I will be an arrow to what is out beyond our reach But even though we're far away Mary, don't you weep, oh Martha don't you moan Sheri, don't you cry, oh Laura don't you groan Pharaoh's army got drowned beneath the sea All those horses paid the price, oh Mary I will be a splint for you, keeping what is broken true And I will be a thresher to pull away the tare from you But underneath the amber waves Mary, don't you weep, oh Martha don't you moan Sheri, don't you cry, oh Laura don't you groan Out beyond the deep, underneath the sea There are bodies crumbling, oh Sheri On dappled forest floor Your voice had gone away But your eyes were there Oh, and they were closing their eyes Mary, don't you weep, oh Martha don't you moan Sheri, don't you cry, oh Laura don't you groan At the end of time, when your family's dead You will have the one you love instead Oh, Sheri Oh, Mary Oh, Mary
