Jan Leyers - Mary-Louise lyrics
Your rating:
I once set out for a faraway coast Drawn by tales of mountains of gold The stars were silent, the waves were rough And the mountains I found were barren and cold Now the light is fading, the day is done And the road’s got me down to my knees I lift my head to the bloodred sky And long for the smile of Mary-Louise I was sent off to a faraway war Led to believe it would set us all free I fell in and followed, I carried my weight Until one day the truth hit on me Now nothing can comfort my troubled mind No prayer will cure my disease I turn my eyes to the empty sky and long for the arms of Mary-Louise Sometimes I think of my faraway home Where I know every crack in every old stone Where I traded my treasures for a long lost dream For an endless trail I must walk down alone Now the ship has sailed, the day is done And the road’s got me down to my knees I lift my head to the bloodred sky And long for the smile of Mary-Louise I turn my eyes to the empty sky And remember the love of Mary-Louise
