(Ian and George Sutherland)



The light shines down the valley

The wind blows up the alley

Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary



She took the pains of boyhood

And turned them into feel good

Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary



CHORUS

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know

She put me right on my first mistake



Summer wasn't gone

when I learned all she had to show (there was written give)

She really gave all a boy could take



So now when I get lonely

Still lookin for my one and only

That's when I wish was lyin' in

The Arms of Mary



(repeat chorus)
