Begin Again Songtext
von Nick Mulvey

Mary was my mother′s mother and my sister too
There's rain in the river, there′s a river running through
To the sea around these islands, crying tears of sorrow, pain
There's rain in the river there's a river in my veins

Mary, young as we may be you know, the blood in you and me
Is as old as blood can be
Is as old as blood can be
As old as blood can be

Living lines of memory through the markings on my hand
Ancient lines of living love, awaken in this land
Saying, I am in the forest, in the city and the field
I am in the bounty, come on, know me as I yield
I am in the falcon, in the otter, and the stoat
I am in the turtle dove with nowhere left to go

And in the moment of blind madness when he′s pushing her away
I am in the lover and in the ear who hears her say
Can we begin again? Oh, baby, it′s me again
I know you are so different to me, but I love you just the same


I love you just the same
I love you just the same
Love you just the same
Love you just the same
Love you just the same

Nigh-e
Nigh-e (Love you just the same)
Nigh-e (Love you just the same)
Nigh-e (Love you just the same)

Mary, if the world had 1912 to '72 (Love you just the same)
Though we never met in flesh, here, I remember you
(Love you just the same)
Were woman you were gentle, you were modest, you were kind
(I love you just the same)
A mother, wife and gran you were a woman of your time
(Love you just the same)

Mary, young as we may be, you know, the blood in you and me
Is as old as blood can be
Is as old as blood can be (Love you just the same)
As old as blood can be (I love you just the same)

She says, I am in the living I am in the dying too (Love you just the same)
I am in the stillness, can you see me as I move? (Love you just the same)
I am in the hawthorn, in the apple and the beach (Love you just the same)
I am in the mayhem, in the medicine of speech (Love you just the same)


In the moment of blind madness when he′s pushing her away
I am in the lover, and in the ear who hears her say
Can we begin again? Oh, baby, it's me again
I know you are so different to me, but I love you just the same

I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
