Mary Songtext
von Kellin Watson

Mary′s gone for a swim
She's gone so she can breathe again
At least she′ll never get sick again
Be late again, gain weight again

There was a little ones
Left our boat like kisses to the wind
No place to lay, they're breaking down
All we can do is wait around
For Mary to come home

Mary, Mary has gone
On a trip to the moon
She's gone to see all the stars that sing
Hallelujah
She′s gone to taste the Milky Way
Make fun of the boys from Jupiter
And then she′ll have a laugh with her daddy
About the stories he missed out on


We're sitting in a circle now
Trading stories about how delicate
Each day can be when breath only leaves us wondering
A year will pass, then maybe three
We′ll still be left with these memories
It's times like these you doubt everything
And hate the hand that could create such a sting
And all she knows now
Is how to close her eyes and sleep and see

And all we can remember is how to wait
For Mary to come home

But Mary might be late

On a trip to the moon
She′s gone to see all the stars that sing
Hallelujah
She's gone to taste the Milky Way
Make fun of the boys from Jupiter
And then she′ll have a laugh with her daddy
About the stories he missed out on


Well it's getting late and now
Mary's starting to trace fate
And all those floods are finding their way
Back into rivers and lakes
And I can just see Mary
I said I can, I can just see Mary
Swimming away, away, away
Swimming away, away, away
Mary is swimming, she′s swimming away
Away, away, away

Deeper it is getting now
When absence starts to fit her
How easily it becomes to see the gray
When others run away
Little things, oh little things
She used to hold are losing touch
With that place inside that space
That kept a picture of her face
And all we can remember is how to wait
For Mary to come home

But Mary, she′s always late

Mary has gone to the moon
Mary has gone too soon

Mary is swimming away, away, away
Mary is swimming, swimming away
Away, away
