Mary is Mary
Andy Stack
We left a 'maybe' for the cold heart
When they found a body in my backyard
So leave for the country just like you did
But he's not in the country, look how you live
But oh, high and mighty, what do you know?
Well, there is no great eye on the sparrow
And one head is lesser than the two heads
But we know the things that go unsaid
And I'm left with a stranger in my likeness
Still sleeping in my raincoat or my sundress
Oh, sleeping giant, why do you rest
Behind the eyes of who I love the best?
Well, Mary is Mary and I'm not
But what good does she have
That I haven't got?
Oh, high and mighty, what is your guess?
Can we learn to live with so much less?
We say that we end where we all go
But, oh, high and mighty, what do you know?
