Oh, Sweet Mary Lyrics

She was born in the thunder of a hurricane

Driven by an angry moon

With the blood in her eyes

As she rolled out on the bay

Going straight for the heart, never turning to say

Will it self-destruct too soon

And fired all of her guns

Across the line where we would lay

It was the dark wind beauty of an autumn night

In the cold New England rain

That held us close by the shore

Warm in each other's sight

But as the tides must turn and the gulls take flight

Lovers weep in vain

And the storm clouds gather

For a landfall at first light

She was the red sky warning a November day

Driven by an angry moon

With the blood in her eyes

As she rolled out on the bay

Going straight for the heart, never turning to say

Will it self-destruct too soon

And fired all of her guns

Across the line where we would lay

And my life is blowing away

And your life just gets in the way

Seasons change

And I must go away

And oh, Sweet Mary

Come to carry me home
