Maryjoan

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down in the hay barn with Maryjoan Rolling amongst the straw Her arm outstretched a thousand times With breath of ale, sweet and stale My eyes lifted up to her, my eyes lifted up to her My hands exploding through the hay-mound My eyes lifted up to her, my eyes lifted up to her, to hear My favourite song [Chorus] Maryjoan moves out of frame And I've sown a seed without a name Headless now, she is okay My reaping scythe, is warm tonight [Verse 2] With ragged attire, I will roam this field While my fathеr lays inside asleep I touch the pumping gash across my face Drеaming of a little change And shake dead roots from my boots My eyes are lifting up to see The clouds are parting just for me The turn where the dam ends is not an image An image that I will forget, an image that I will forget [Chorus] Maryjoan moves out of frame I've sown a seed without a name Headless now, she is okay My reaping scythe, is warm this night Maryjoan slips out of frame And I've sown a seed without a name Headless now, she is alright, she's doing okay My reaping scythe, is warm tonight [Bridge] Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down [Refrain] With your tongues so sly, and your sons so shy Down, down, down, down With your tongues so sly, and your sons in the sky Down, down, down, down With your tongues so sly, and your sons in the sky Down, down, down, down With your tongues so sly, and your sons so shy Down, down, down, down [Outro] And all the villagers say Down the silent street, across the swaying fields And all the villagers say Down the silent street, across the swaying fields "I'm sorry"
