The wind died down but it got so cold
My health is good but I feel damn old
Like I might not see the season's change
Light a candle, say a prayer
Thinking of a one out there
Holy Mother, you've heard this refrain
While the walls come down the sap will rise
And I'll suffer my easy compromise
Oh Mary, I think I love her
My hands grow stiff and ink will fail
All comparisons will pale
Dear Mary, I fear I love her
Walk a path while wheels won't turn
Feet can freeze while legs will burn
I found I lost the breadcrumbs home
Or sit and stare where she once stirred
And simple questions still occurred
A testament to more than blood and bone
While the walls come down the sap will rise
And I'll suffer my easy compromise
Oh Mary, I think I love her
My hands grow stiff and ink will fail
All comparisons will pale
Dear Mary, I fear I love her
Oh Mary, you know I love her
