lyrics

(The Wound)
Oh children, in the light of the dawn, I saw your mother, she come and gone. repeat
She'd taken the form of a big black crow, and I watched her shadow skim the snow.
Now I sit and wait, with the cold cold moon, on a mountain high.
Still waiting and watching for her to cross the sky.

(Mary)
All through the day, she waits, and listens to the street sounds through her window.
She paints her toes and waits for the sun, to fall into the sea, into the sea.
Oh she's a Sometimes Mary, Oh she's a sometimes girl, Oh she's a sometimes Mary

There was a time when she was only 17, and the city seemed to hold her in the palm of its hand.
The flagpoles of the four seasons hotel, seemed adorned with the robes of angels, robes of angels.
She saw them flapping and beating up there, till they are torn apart.
She saw them flapping and beating up there, like the beating of her own heart.

repeat.
Oh she's a Sometimes Mary, Oh she's a sometimes girl, Oh she's a sometimes Mary
Just a simple child living in a mixed up world.
