She just gave him life
Born of stranger times
Welcome to this world of mine
Mary's child
No time to have fun
Mary was the one
Riches plenty she had none
Reconciled
Time is the one thing I needed to stay
It never gives, it takes away
They call her Mary
Once upon a time
Spelled out every line
Gave us all your precious time
I'm Mary's child
Sickness made me cry
Gazed with heavy eye
Couldn't take it I could die
Through this time
Time is the one thing I needed to stay
It never gives, it takes away
I look into my glass
And see my wasting skin
Crawling back against the flow
She doesn't realise
How much she sacrificed
Every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
Now in golden years
Nothing left to fear
A lady in grace like a vintage wine
Time is the one thing I needed to stay
It never gives, it takes away
I look into my glass
And see my wasting skin
Crawling back against the flow
She doesn't realise
How much she sacrificed
Every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to
Memory fading
Anticipation
I hope it's not
I hope it's not the end
It never gives, it takes away
I look into my glass
And see my wasting skin
Crawling back against the flow
She doesn't realise
How much she sacrificed
Every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
They call her Mary
