The Bells of St. Mary's

歌詞

I met Mary on a moonless night Her starry eyes could make the world look bright Young and perfect, and full of life She said, "we’re gonna make it out one night" We’re gonna make it out one night As time passed, we both got old From the bar she lived above, she sat and wrote By the light of blue and yellow neon sign She wrote, "we’re gonna make it out one night" We’re gonna make it out one night So go on work all your angles out Get a plan together, get your demons out 'Cause Mary the world wants to bring you down But don’t you let ‘em I ran into her in Union Square Her starry eyes were looking dim and scared With a cigarette providing all the light She said, "we’re gonna make it out one night" We’re gonna make it out one night It rained the night I said goodbye When I lit her candle I never thought to cry 'Cause Mary, you never were the staying kind You were gonna make it out one night You were gonna make it out one night So go on work all your angles out Get a plan together, get your demons out 'Cause Mary the world wants to bring you down But don’t you let ‘em There’s a moment that we change And we fall along the way 'Cause we’re not looking when we run And if that moment never comes Save your breath, we only get so many trips around the sun And there’s no lucky stars So go on work all your angles out Get a plan together, get your demons out 'Cause Mary the world wants to bring you down But don’t you let ‘em
