lyrics

Mary

There’s a hole in her blue jeans there’s a rip in the inseam
Well you know what that means….time to go
Cuz she’s been here for 10 years, met her quota of shed tears
Why she’s locked up in her fears, I don’t know

I don’t know-oh-oh oh-oh

Oh Mary, my how far you are from home
Oh Mary, take it easy on the road
I hope you find some peace of mind
Some rest for your soul
Hope you find what you’ve been looking for---oh

From the bone she takes marrow, with her lips she shoots arrows
Now she’s taking down the sparrows with a pointed bow
As they fall all around her sudden loneliness astounds her
Why surprised by its encounter, I don’t know


I don’t know-oh-oh oh-oh

Oh Mary, my how far you are from home
Oh Mary, take it easy on the road
I hope you find some peace of mind
Some rest for your soul
I hope you find what you’ve been looking for---oh

Oh Mary, my how far you are from home
Oh Mary, take it easy on the road
I hope you find some peace of mind
Some rest for your soul
I hope you find what you’ve been looking for---oh

There’s a hole in her blue jeans there’s a rip in the inseam
Well you know what that means….Time to go
