Mary's Song - Kari Rueslåtten

Mary

Can you forgive me?

I never meant to hurt you.

You were so young.

You were so free.

You were the one.

Mary

There is no reason

With your soft touch and your tender voice.

You were so young.

You were so free.

You were the one.

And all I ever saw was trouble, I was totally blind

To you.

«I am»

You said

«The bearer of all good things»

I didn’t know how to take this,

So I left you.

Sail away into the ocean and the ocean will hide your tears.

Mary,

Can you pretend

You never knew me at all?

I was so young.

I was so wild,

Trying to be free.

And all I ever saw was trouble, I was totally blind

To you.

«I am»

You said

«The bearer of all good things»

I didn’t know how to take this,

So I left you.

There is nothing more to say.

What king of mother leaves

their child this way?

«I am»

You said

«The bearer of all good things»

I didn’t know how to take this,

So I left you.

Sail away into the ocean and the ocean will hide your tears.
