Mary's Eyes - Janis Ian[00:00:00]
Written by:Janis Ian[00:00:01]
Mary's eyes are startling blue[00:00:13]
And her hair's newcastle gold[00:00:17]
And she walks the thin white line[00:00:21]
Between the body and the soul[00:00:24]
She's as faithful to her history[00:00:28]
As a novice to his fast[00:00:32]
For she is standing on the bones[00:00:35]
Of ireland's past[00:00:38]
She is singing of the troubles[00:00:43]
And a fire in the land[00:00:46]
'Til I can almost feel the famine[00:00:50]
Slipping through my trembling hand[00:00:54]
And I wonder as I hear her[00:00:58]
That the spirit still shines through[00:01:01]
And she can reach across the ocean deep[00:01:05]
And break my heart in two[00:01:09]
Mary's wise as she is foolish[00:01:27]
She's as constant as the tide[00:01:31]
For it's a woman's heart that beats beneath[00:01:34]
That stubborn irish pride[00:01:38]
We are saints and we are sinners[00:01:42]
We are heroes we are thieves[00:01:45]
But we are all of us beginners[00:01:49]
On the road to galilee[00:01:53]
We are singing of the troubles[00:01:56]
And a fire in the land[00:02:00]
'Til I can almost feel the famine[00:02:03]
Slipping through my trembling hand[00:02:07]
And I wonder as I hear her[00:02:11]
That the spirit still shines through[00:02:14]
And she can reach across the ocean deep[00:02:18]
And break my heart in two[00:02:22]
So let us hoist a pint of silence[00:02:41]
To the east where ireland lies[00:02:45]
And we'll stare across the waters[00:02:49]
For a glimpse of mary's eyes[00:02:53]
We are ships without a harbour[00:02:57]
We are sailors on dry land[00:03:00]
And the song goes on forever[00:03:05]
Even though the record can't[00:03:09]
We are singing of the troubles[00:03:13]
And a fire in the land[00:03:17]
'Til I can almost feel the famine[00:03:21]
Slipping through my trembling hand[00:03:25]
And I wonder as I hear her[00:03:28]
How the spirit still shines through[00:03:32]
And she can reach across the ocean deep[00:03:36]
And break my heart in two[00:03:40]
