Lyrics

Mary Is 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.

We left a "maybe" for the cold heart

And they found a body in my backyard

I leave for the country just like you did

But he's not in the country, just look how you lived

And all high and mighty, what do you know?

And there is no greater to despair on

And Mary is Mary and I'm not

But what, what good does she have that I haven't got?

And one head is lesser than the two heads

But we know the facts that go unsaid

And I'm left alone in my own home

Where all that I own is not my own

And all sleeping giants, why do you lie?

Behind the eyes of who I love the best

And is there another where you do keep

The pain of another where my arms sleep

And all high and mighty, what is your game?

Can we learn to live with so much loss?

And you say that we end where we all go

But all high and mighty, what do you know?
