Mary Mary
 
Mary Mary I've seen the many likes of you before
Mary Mary I've watched many a Mary fade away
on a cloud, just disappear into thin ice, empty space

Mary, you're so contradictory, what makes you collide?
I can tell by the smell of spring and the cumbersome lilt
in your eye

But laugh, don't cry Mary, life is just around the corner
Don't be too shy Mary, spring can be forgotten
Oh, My Mary has every other ordinary season like yours does
Mary.

Mary Mary these images are fading fast, Mary dark and wild
I can see your forest green through your rose colored eyes
Mary this trail is slowly ending, these lines are bending into one
as you go wandering down toward the sun

So laugh, don't cry Mary, life is just around the corner
Don't be too shy Mary, spring can be forgotten
Oh, My Mary has every other ordinary season like yours does
Mary.

And when the rain comes tumbling down you'll stumble and then you'll realize
the dark and dreary can make a weary one strong, yet so alive
Mary, contrary to popular belief you'll find that scary keeping you real
Scary keeping you real.

So laugh, don't cry Mary, life is just around the corner
Don't be too shy Mary, spring can be forgotten
Oh, My Mary has every other ordinary season like yours does
Mary.
