Trying to leave part of me in love with you
But I know
In your simple soft dress
I will hold onto the part of me that is in love with you
And I will go back into myself
To see
The light in your eyes
Mother Mary won't mind
Your skin soft and warm
Your crescent hand in mine
But I know
From the window of your father's house
I will hold onto the part of me that is in love with you
And I will go back into myself
To see
The light in your eyes
Mother Mary won't mind
I'm holding on one last time
Mother Mary won't mind
Don't you know I'm too tired to try
Mother Mary oh my
I tried to say good bye
I slipped out of life
Mother Mary oh my
I tried to say good bye
