You left me stranded here

Abandoned and alone

With silly memories

Of things I've never known

So when the mystery

is starting to grow old

Another dream goes by

Like ashes out of gold



[chorus]

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Won't you take my hand

Hail Mary

Forgive me Father for I do not understand



Just like the brightest light

Will fade away to black

There comes a time when there's

No reason to look back

I gave you everything

I gave you all I had,

And when it all comes down

I know I won't be sad



[chorus x4]



Forgive me Father for I do not understand
