lyrics

Mary

Mary was her name, she could hear the waters whisper of her firstborn son
Waiting in the shallows like a great black swan for the day to come
With half-closed eyes, she was found by the river where their names were called
And all this time, I’ve been waiting for the curtain to fall

Mary was her name and she sank to the bottom while the band played on
Waiting in the arms of the river like a lover with the shades all drawn
The night split wide like the smile of a hunter while the wheels revolved
And all this time, I’ve been waiting for the curtain to fall

Mary was her name, she could shine like a diamond when the world was young
Weighted to the ground in her long white gown with the veil undone
Now we all join hands and we walk through the shadows by the western wall
And all this time I’ve been waiting for the curtain to fall
