Angels announce with trumpets

Crown you with jewels and stars

Hercules lives

Next door to Venus and Mars

Beside your pretty blue shoulder,

Something may trouble Jerome

Now that you're up with your friends

I know you'll never come home


Singing so babe, I know this song

Miss Mary I'm nothing without you

Everything I've done is wrong

Miss Mary I try not to doubt you


I walk in their brilliant parade

Banish the primitive gloom

Now I know where I can find you

Hung up in some Frenchman's room

Pitiful Magdelena for all to see

Must have been beautiful

So just show a little mercy to me


Hey babe, I sing this song

Miss Mary I'm nothing without you

Everything I've done is wrong

Miss Mary I try not to doubt you


There at the foot of your staircase

I stood to take in the scene

All the ashes of roses

The veined steps of marble

Purple, gold and green

Oh I wish you were my queen


They only want to possess you

Lock you away in a vault

Such a heavenly vision

And dress you up in blue

I guess it's not their fault


I know this song

Miss Mary I'm nothing without you

Everything I've done is wrong

Miss Mary I try not to doubt you


So babe, I sing this song

Miss Mary I'm nothing without you

Everything I've done is wrong

Miss Mary will I be forgiven
