Mary

Pastor's son walks along Every day he played his songs No one sang along He and Mary talked a long A long time about getting on But nobody moves on Nobody was on to him The only gun you'd ever own Was only shot when he got home Bounced off like a bruise though Your mother's heart almost broke But Mary came to fold our clothes And songs leapt from her throat Every word on every note She sang so long it filled our home I sat out on the roof Smoothed out every stone thrown When that old man comes to your home He'll shout you out and eat you whole But Mary comes and Mary does Mary cries and Mary shrugs She holds you like a stone She's never letting go The only friend that you'd let in Held your hand and twisted it Broke up like a phone So every day up in your room Mary came to talk to you Helped you comb it out And Mary laughed and left our home She took our books and took our lawn gnome My mom was at home, she didn't feel alone When that old man comes to your home He'll shout you out and eat you whole But Mary comes and Mary does Mary cries and Mary shrugs She holds you like a stone She's never letting go Pastor's son walks along Every day he plays his songs No one sings along No one sings along Mary's love came along Every day he plays her song He's never moving on He's never moving on
