"Mary" lyrics

"Mary"

Mary
Carries her sadness like her crown
Looks so contained in mourning clothes
Mary
Can lift her smile across her face
No-one can touch her in this place
Her lines engaged
We'll have to
Wait
Wait for the sun to rise
She can't wait
Wait for these feelings to subside
She can't wait
Wait for her grief to end
She can't wait
Wait for her life to begin again

Mary
Says maybe love is not enough
Fears this night will never end
Her lines engaged
We'll have to
Wait
Wait for the sun to rise
She can wait
Wait for these feelings to subside
So she moves
And she shakes
And she dances the shapes
Her shapes that were holding her down
So she crawls
And she cries
Well the past, it has died
As she tries to let go
We must wait
Wait for the sun to rise
We must wait
Wait for the new day to arrive
She'll survive
She'll survive
She'll survive
