"How The Mighty Fall" lyrics

Church bells ringin', gospel singin'
Mary's limping up the steps to the worship hall
She was born in the afternoon
On V-Day in 1945 when Berlin falls
She was the toast of the town
Every boy would lay it down to serve her crown

Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in time

Married to a congressman
Decided things way back when it's a curtain call
Looking in the mirrored night
The image staring back at her is all a lie
It seems a trick of the eye
Just yesterday she heard her baby's newborn cry

Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in time

Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in time

Just tearing through the pages and losing your mind
'Fore you know it you've reached your last line

Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in time
Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in time
