Merry Mary
Moves with me
Late at night I know
She leaves dust in my eyes
Merry Mary
So elegantly
Leaving lots of bits and pieces
And a couple of keys
She says
"don't follow me"
She left me a silver spoon
After reading my palm
She said
"you'll have to sing for your supper
You'll have to sing hard"
So I do
Mary knew
Merry Mary
I noticed you
Never grew anything at all
Had nothing new
She said
"I could be you"
She left a couple of white walls
And a single cross
She took with her
A couple of secrets
Which now are lost
I never asked her anything
But she knew
What she knew
