I was waiting

For a sign of something

Was there only one thing

I could call my own



I was looking

For a new beginning

For a way of winning

All that I was owed



Oh, Mary

How could they see

When I lose it all

You bring it back to me



I was dreaming

Of a new day dawning

With the Monday morning

Running in my eyes



Oh, Mary

How could they know

First they took my heart

Then they break my soul



Oh, Mary

How could they see

When I lose it all

You give it back to me



I was hoping


For a moon at midnight

For a flash of sunlight

In the northern sky



I was searching

For the dreams of dreamers

For the scheme of schemers

Where the modest lie



Oh, Mary

How could they know

First they took my heart

Then they break my soul



Oh, Mary

How could they see

When I lose it all

You give it back to me



Oh, Mary

How could they know

First they took my heart

Then they break my soul



Oh, Mary

How could they see

When I lose it all

You give it back to me
