Merry Mary
moves with me
late at night I know
she leaves dust in my eyes
Merry Mary
so elegantly
leaving lots of bits and pieces
and a couple of keys
she says
"don't follow me"
She left me a silver spoon
after reading my palm
she said
"you'll have to sing for your supper
you'll have to sing hard"
so I do
Mary knew
Merry Mary
I noticed you
never grew anything at all
had nothing new
she said
"I could be you"
She left a couple of white walls
and a single cross
she took with her
a couple of secrets
which now are lost
I never asked her anything
but she knew
what she knew
