"Mary's Dream" lyrics

Moonrise was in motion
It climbed the highest hill above the sea
Silver was the light it threw
Silver rays it spread across the deep

And Mary lay her head to rest
Her thoughts remained
Fixed upon her young Sandy

Soft and low a voice
Called out to her
It said, "Mary, please
Weep no more for me"

Well, Mary raised her head up high
To see who in her room there might be
She saw her young Sandy
With hollow eyes and sunken cheeks

He said, "Mary, how cold is my clay?
It lies beneath
The wet and wild ocean wave

Far, far from here I lie apart from thee
Oh Mary, please
Weep no more for me"

"For three days we did fight the storm
We fought to save our ship and our lives

We thought only of the shore
Returning home to children and to wives

And even when death's water filled up my chest
My heart stayed warm
For love of thee, sweet Mary

Far, far from here I lie
Apart from thee
Oh Mary, please
Weep no more for me"

Then morning came with light and his shadow fled
She could no longer see
A vision of her young Sandy

Soft and low a voice
Called out again
It said, "Mary, please
Weep no more for me"
