(Michael Lardie, Alan Niven)



Let the world be still tonight

Let the fire be the only light

Draw the curtain, pull down the shade

In easy arms we'll lay



So come on lady now close your eyes

Let the madness pass on by

Loosen up your golden hair

Stroke away my every care



There's no comfort in strangers

That I can't find right here



Layin' down in the arms of Sister Mary

Will her lovin' ever last?

Layin' down in the arms of Mother Mary

Let the world drift past



For a moment a perfect love

Pure and silent like a star above

Never mind 'bout tomorrow's fears

Piece of mind is here

Outside's a world of strangers

So I will stay right here



Layin' down in the arms of Sister Mary

Will her lovin' ever last?

Layin' down in the arms of Mother Mary

Nothin' more to ask



Let her lovin' come to you

Let her lovin' come to you

Oh her love will come to you and bring you home, yeah



Outside's a world of strangeness

So I will stay right here
