Mary Skeffington Lyrics - Gerry Rafferty

Mary Skeffington, close your eyes 

And make believe that you are just a girl again 

Go to sleep tonight, dream of days 

When you had something there to light the way. 

Remember a holiday in a north-of-England town 

You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown. 

Mary Skeffington, when you wake 

You mustn't be afraid to face another day 

Think of what you have, you'll get by 

You've always been a lady so hold your head up high.

Look back on a home where you spent the best years of your life 

Remember the man who asked you if you would be his wife. 

Mary Skeffington, close your eyes 

And make believe that you are just a girl again 

Go to sleep tonight, dream of days 

When you had something there to light the way.
