Mother Mary
Lyrics
Do you want to elope tonight
Getting lost in the shadows
All dressed up like a switchblade knife
Let's hang in love from the gallows
Or we can take a walk around the lake
There's a garden in the park there
Under the stars next to the fireside
Anywhere is better than here
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, 'cause I don't care ...
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand.
Take a ride on the midnight train
We'll fall asleep at the station
Too much wine, driving me insane
And then we'll miss our destination
Oh well, too bad, who cares, it's all right.
As long as we will stick together
In hell we’re rain in rows of sunshine
We'll watch it rise and shine forever
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, 'cause I don't care ...
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand.
