Bradley Hathaway - Mary lyrics
I got two women that are on my mind The one I got and the one I can't find Mary's a sweetie, God bless her soul Her heart's a treasure box full of solid gold And when I'm lying next to her at night My mind takes off in a fanciful flight Off of my bed and over my house Like the voice in the water It just searches all about Mary, oh Mary I love you, I do Just not in the same way that you love me, too I think it's time we go our separate ways My mind's made up and I don't think it's gonna change Rachael was a beauty and her kisses, fire Just like her daddy, though, she too was a liar Megan's smile was a rainbow And her tears, the rain But I could never find the sunshine to cure her pain Sarah knew how to bake a mean apple pie But she could never let those sleeping dogs just lie Amy was gentle and as calm as a lake But hidden in her was an anger that I couldn't take Mary, oh Mary I hope you're doing okay We haven't talked in so many days I hope you found someone that makes you laugh I hope your heart's as bright and green as the gra** One night I went driving with a friend from my hometown We turned the radio up Didn't make a sound She laid her head back Closed her eyes and smiled Thought to myself "Hey, I could get used to this awhile" Our hearts spoke what our mouths could not A couple days later, though, she said she forgot I tried to remind her But she did not care For some, love's too terrible a thing to bear Mary, oh Mary I miss you, today I was wondering if it would be okay If I came over just to say hello I won't leave until you tell me to go I believe, one day, that the world's gonna end Some of us will be forgiven for the wrong we did Hope we all will But I just don't know All this talk about the sheep and the goats I looked for love in more places than others Both beneath the sheets and atop the covers God, if your love could pierce me with your arrows Through my stubborn heart and my hardened marrow Mary, oh Mary You look beautiful in white My eyes had never seen such a sight I hope he loves you like I never could I hope he loves you like I never would
