Mary & Me
Mary and me, trying to live free
Down by the shores of Galilee
Sharing our love, union divine
Hand in hand for all of time
We walk down sandy paths
Through leafen groves
Resting by the stream
To share bread olives wine and dates
Sunlight illumines strands of your hair
The moment will pass but we’ll always be there
Mary and me, trying to be free
Down by the shores of Galilee
They say I saved you but you saved me
Down by the shores of Galilee
And in the solitude of night
The angel of God summoned me saying
Whilst thou have no other love than He?
Oh Mary, would that I could take you with me
I must walk through the fire alone
You cannot share my fate
Mary and me, trying to break free
Down by the shores of Galilee
Sharing our love, union divine
Hand in hand for all of time
Why did I turn my face away from you?
I promised myself to the world
And even though you were my world
No one would believe me
We all have our angels and demons
Sometimes we don’t know who’s who
I could never grant myself forgiveness
So I’m begging it from you
Mary and me trying to be free
Down by the shores of Galilee
Trying to get clear
Of all ‘cept the heart
You me and God
Till death do us part
Devastation writ large
They tore us apart
On the third day, we reclaimed our hearts.
Mary and me, trying to be free
Down by the shores of Galilee
They say I saved you but you saved me
Down by the shores of Galilee
