Mary

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The fortune teller told me that my life was bound to fail She said, "Don't make too many plans, that train goes off the rails Present is a gift, so don't look it in the mouth" She said a lot of things like this, she filled my head with doubt [Chorus] The fortune teller's name was Mary and the things she told me were so scary But in the end, none of it came true In the cover of that night, I leaned over into the candlelight and I said, "Mary, Oh Mary Oh, Mary, does somebody lovе you?" [Post-Chorus] Do you need somebody To keep you warm Do you need somebody To teach you how to mourn Whеn their gone [Verse 2] By certain scales, a life goes by so very fast Some days go easy, some will wear you like a mask The present is a gift, so don't look it in the mouth She said a lot of things like this, she had me freaking out [Chorus] If your fortune teller's name is Mary and the things she tells you are so scary In the end, none of it comes true In the cover of that night, I leaned over into the candlelight and I said, "Mary, Oh Mary Oh, Mary, won't you let me love you?" [Bridge] I started looking out the window one day as the migratory geese were passing through I don't go in for crystal balls, but in that moment, I think I knew Mary had no talent with her with her tea leaves and her cards but she knew that one day she'd bring me pain I still see her shadow fall across our yard Hope she wears a jacket when it rains [Outro] Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary
