Big Thief - Mary

^DBurn up with the water The ^Gfloods are on the ^Dplains The ^Dplanets in rows Who ^Emknows what they contain? And my ^Dbrain is like an orchestra ^GPlaying on, ^Dinsane ^EmWill you love me like you loved me in the ^GJanuary ^Drain?

^DMom and Dad and violins ^GSomber country ^Dsilence ^DThe needle stopped the kicking ^EmThe clothes pins on the floor And my ^Dheart is playing hide and seek ^GWait and count to ^Dfour ^EmWill you love me like you loved me and I'll ^Gnever ask for ^Dmore

^GWhat did you tell me Mary ^GWhen you were there so sweet and very ^DFull of field and stars ^DYou carried all of time ^EmOh and, heavens, when you looked at me

^GYour hands were making artifacts in the ^Dcorner of my mind

^GMonastery monochrome ^GBoom balloon machine and oh ^DDiamond rings and gutter bones ^DMarching up the mountain With our ^Gaching planning ^GHigh and smiling ^GCheap drink ^GDark and violent ^DFull of butterflies ^DThe violent tenderness ^DThe sweet asylum ^EmThe clay you find is fortified ^EmWe felt unfocused fade the line ^DThe sugar rush ^DThe constant hush ^DThe pushing of the water gush The ^Gmarching band ^GWhen April ran May ^DJune bugs fly and ^EmPush your gin Jacob ^EmWith the tired wiry brandy look ^GHere we go round Mary in your ^Dfamous story book

^DWe overcome the sirens ^GWe look both left and ^Dright ^DAnd I can feel the numbness ^Gaccompany my plight ^DAnd I know that someday soon I'll see you ^GBut now you're out of ^Dsight ^EmAnd you'll kiss me like you used to in the ^GJanuary ^Dnight
