Mary

Do you recognize me

Here on this sleeper train?

And do you feel the pain

Growing into the night, Mary?

And I can feel the taste

Of your third birthday cake

Remember how it was

To hold you in my arms, Mary

It was there

The summer lights around

I was there

His hand upon my knees

And we're gone

Across these sunny streets

And we're gone

The day you died, Mary

And we go faster now

Together through these fields

Here on this sleeper train

And I can touch your face, Mary

The precious things we've done

Hidden under my skin

I let you sleep a while

I let you sleep a while, Mary

It was there

The summer lights around

I was there

His hand upon my knee

And we're gone

Across these sunny streets

And we're gone

The day you died, Mary
