Agnes Obel "Mary" lyrics

Mary

Heaven hid her face as we fell downAge old habits echoed in the groundOne old sing and one would hold me downThey might listen if I make no sound

Oh I know thisFrom my high school heartThat nothing is overFrom a touch it will beginWide on the sky

In my house the silence rang so loudUnder doorways, through the hallway downWaiting for the secret to grow outOh what we do when no one is around

Oh I know thisFrom my high school heartThat nothing is overFrom a touch it will beginWide on the sky

In the dark I hear you singFingers move and chords they ringBe the witness of my shameSwaying in the summer rainFeathers falling from your wingIn the dark I hear you sing
