Mary

Do you recognize me
Here on this sleeper train?
And do you feel the pain
Growing into the night, Mary?

And I can feel the taste
Of your third birthday cake
Remember how it was
To hold you into my arms, Mary

It was there
The summer lights around
I was there
His hand upon my knees
And we're gone
Across this sunny streets
And we're gone
The day you died, Mary

And we go faster now
Together through the fields
Here on this sleeper train
And I can touch your face, Mary

The precious things we've done
Hidden under my skin
I let you sleep a while
I let you sleep a while, Mary

It was there
The summer lights around
I was there
His hand upon my knees
And we're gone
Across this sunny streets
And we're gone
The day you died, Mary
