Lyrics
Mary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Eyes as blue as the cheapest streets
You build your hotels on.
You take the pennies I'm betting with,
Because cash is cash.
I steal your whiskey and cigarettes,
From behind the old television set
It's still got a dial,
When I get sick you smile.
Oh oh are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh oh are you watching?
Mary watch over me.
When I was bloodied and broken,
From a deadbeat kind of love.
You laughed as you held my hand,
And said "go on and cry,
But let that be the very last thing,
That you give him darling
Now let's go on in the house,
And make a voodoo doll."
Oh oh are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh oh are you watching?
Mary watch over me.
Got a faded photograph
A lion just like me
I folded it in half
I keep it with me.
Oh you didn't go quietly
Into the great white shining light,
You were hopped up on love,
And singing Johnny Cash.
You looked up and you yelled at me,
You said "Bad is cheap and good is free,
So don't pull any fast ones kid,
'Cause I'll be watching you."
Oh oh are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh oh are you watching?
Mary watch over me.
