Mary by Baezy Lyrics

Promises, promises, break your promises to me
Before the ground settles beneath our feet

Real estate, real estate houses in L.A
On the other side of virginity

Atom bombs, atom bombs, isn’t it strange
How the world turns on without complaint

Life support, life support, plug him back in
Before his time is done reckoning

Mary, will you understand
Mary, will you listen please
And hold me like a mother should
And kiss me like a mother would
Mary, do you hear them cry
Am I the only one you turn from when I need you most
Mary, what are you hiding from

Mary, will you answer me
Mary, are you listening
Coming down, coming down, sober in hives
Before the panic hits 4th of July

And your children and your son mourn for you
While the soil is wet from your fumes


Mary, will you understand
Mary, will you listen please
And hold me like a mother should
And kiss me like a mother would
Mary, do you hear them cry
Or am I the only one you turn from when I need you most
Mary, what are you hiding from

Mary, will you answer me
Mary, are you listening
