Hail Mary

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Naomi got married And Flannery became a dancer And Ben got a baby girl 'Fore mama got sick with cancer And Lady believed in something holy So much she went to war Said, "I'm not her, you don't know me Gone somewhere I ain't never been before" [Refrain] I'm still here, weaving a tear Into cheap gold, a story told You've got a gift, now give it to me [Chorus] And Hail Mary Oh, go long May I never do you wrong [Verse 2] And Erin flew off the handle And I went to the funeral For her, I lit many candles She was beautiful, I knew her And Pony made lots of money Turned his soul into gold Said, "Time's a funny motherfucker" Got stolen cooling by the window [Refrain] I'm still here, nursing a beer In some cheap bar And I can't hear, it's all white noise So play it, boys And take it, Meg [Bridge] And I cried watching the runners On the sidelines of the marathon And I dreamt my friend was the winner And don't you know it, babe, he was Oh, I love you, oh, my child How the crowd went dizzy How the crowd went wild And you, my friend, you feel like fire As the speakers boomed a soft Sinatra New York, New York, it's us this time We're all winning, we're alive [Chorus] So Hail Mary Oh, go long Cross my heart, hope I die In your arms
