King Commoner - Mary

Walking cross our old bridge in the snow
How it looks from an age long ago
Down the ridge where the creek used to flow
Time moves fast but the past burns slow

And breathing is the only sound
I'm hearing in this lonely town
I'm tired of the lost and found
I'm turned around
And almost headed for the tracks

What a fool to let you go
Lonely jester sitting on his little throne
But I was in a blizzard of my own
Trying to love was squeezing blood from a stone

And freedom was the only sound
You were hearing in this lonely town
I was tired of the lost and found
We're upside down
And now I'm dodging all the cracks

Oh Mary
You were there at the start
You were the beat of my heart

Yeah Mary
You were a shot in the dark
You were the beat of my heart

Underneath the street lamp's glow
Silhouette and I regret you had to go
But even then I wouldn't forego
One single minute of the love we've known

I'm standing here on holy ground
I'm still here in this one horse town
And everything I lost you found
You turned me around
But now I'm underneath the axe

Oh Mary
You were there at the start
You were the beat of my heart

Yeah Mary
You were a shot in the dark
You were the beat in my heart
