Mother Mary of the valley Send me a saint cause I need him so badly From the forest, to the prairie I walk alone with the burdens I carry She was the fairest of ten thousand But I lost her high in the mountains Now I'm searching for that fountain So I can buy a little time while I'm waiting I heard a voice in the whirlwind You learned your lesson but you never should have came here It carried me on through the black hills And showed me the way to the white fields I lied awake in the pasture Safe and sound from disaster
And when my heart beats faster I'm holding on like there's something coming after The storm in me that's turning To bury what I've broken And hold me underwater Should I blame my mistakes? Burn down the bed I've made? Throwing stones since the river turned away Son of wilderness to find the narrow gate ‘Cause where we're going will never be safe But there's nothing left for me here if I stay Mother Mary Come and find me It's getting late and it's darker than it should be...
