Mother Mary Sometimes it is genuinely fun to write a lyric, sitting on a train on my way to an open mic last night with all other passengers staring inanely at their phones and blank looks on faces







Interested in how you view the 'story' what is your interpretation of the action?











Mother Mary. Draft. RogersonLB







V1



Got down on my knees



Putting both hands together



First time since I was ten



It really me helped back then



Gave such blessed relief



But these prayers just seem to disappear into the empty ether







Chorus



Mother Mary was just talking to your son



Asked a simple question but it seems he got the answer wrong



So asking you now, to get things right



Help me close these eyes ang get some sleep tonight



Mother Mary, ohhhh ohh mother Mary







V2



Grey Smoke just lingered



Just past the edge of these fingers



Noise kept reverberating



The flush of Blood rising



In total disbelief



Still seeing her laying silent pale and dead crumpled on the leaves







Chorus



Mother Mary was just talking to your son



Asked a simple question but it seems he got the answer wrong



So now I'm imploring you, to finally put things right



Cast away the devils and let me get some sleep tonight



Mother Mary, ohhhh ohh mother Mary







Bridge



Senior Sergeant closed his warrant book



Giving me the oh so sorry look



We're not charging you son



You did what had to be done







Chorus



Mother Mary was just talking to your son



Asked a simple question but it seems he got it all wrong



So asking you now, to put things right



Help me close these eyes ang get to sleep tonight



Mother Mary, ohhhh ohh mother Mary
