lyrics
Mary don’t have to ask
to take the wine down off the shelf
She just arrives and helps herself
cause she’s certain of eternal love
Hurrying to the bells
They’re clanging high and ringing low
and speak a tongue that we don’t know
Then the sun cracked like a spoiled egg
Mary don’t have to act
like she’s awake when she’s asleep
She lets the sound bleed through her dream
so forgive her when she calls today
Chariots on the hill
they’re flying by and swinging low
They make an iridescent glow
on the little ripples 'round her eyes
and around her mouth
and on her forehead
I knew Mary well
when she was just a girl
and all the hills we sang
and all the rhymes we knew
I knew Mary well
when she was just a girl
and I was just a girl too
Mary don’t have to speak
to show the song that she exists
She just decides and then she is
and that’s why I sing her name this way
