Mary

Oh Mary was unhappy with the life that she led
 She was a simple girl without much to say
 So one day she just upped and left her dreary home
 And she left all her friends behind to wander all alone
 And at first she was afraid, she was so far away
 From her home but slowly she got to like it anyway
 Oh Mary won't you please come...
 Well in time she found that
 The mountain that she had been taught
 Her whole life, that she must avoid
 And though at first it hurt, and no one could comfort her
 She finally came to appreciate it
 And she liked it, she liked it--oh wasn't she surprised
 And though still alone, she grew much inside
 Oh Mary won't you please come...
 And after a time, she became so sublime
 She could look in people's eyes and read their minds
 Though her hands would sometimes bleed and occasionally
 She would long for her past and memories they bring
 She decided to return to her old home town
 And her heart was burning with all the things she found
 Oh Mary won't you please come...
 So Mary came back and at first no one recognized her face
 And her friends were all a little bit afraid
 When they heard what she had to say
 They all slowly backed away
 And her family took her aside and put their arms around her
 They said Mary won't you please come back to us now
 there is still time to repent for all your sins
 And Mary started to cry when she realized
 that she'd never come home again in her life
 Oh Mary won't you come home
