Mary's Waltz |
| Mary’s Waltz |
| words and music: Detweiler |
| recordings: Amateur Shortwave Radio, The Darkest Night of the Year |
| There was a blind girl with braids and a black dress |
| Lived next to me I could tell you the address |
| I saw her climb out her window one midnight |
| In to the oak tree scared sacred with moonlight |
| See Mary dance with the light on her shoulders |
| She has a secret, like a lover discovers her |
| Guardian angel with limbs white as lambs wool |
| Expensive perfume on her feet |
| Blind Mary taught me how eyes can make pictures |
| I showed her mine and then she showed me all hers |
| You have to close them she whispered a warning |
| Be sure to open them before it’s morning |
| See how we dance with the light on our shoulders |
| We have a secret like lovers discovering |
| Guardian angels with limbs white as lambs wool |
| Expensive perfume on our feet |
| Mary fell ill on a night in December |
| And how they tried then to cool down her fever |
| But she lay so still like a child in a manger |
| While I closed my eyes tight and prayed for a savior |
| Let Mary dance with the light on her shoulders |
| Tell her a secret and let her discover her |
| Guardian angel with limbs white as lambs wool |
| Expensive perfume on his feet |
