Mary Lyrics - Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down - Noah & The Whale

Oh, the cold wet wind blew over the heather 

You wrote Charlie and Mary for forever 

On the back of a rock that you picked up on the way 

And in that perfect moment I nearly ruined it 

By saying I love you and nearly meaning it 

But you know I would never waste those words 

Oh, when I last saw Mary 

She lied and said it was her birthday 

Oh, when I last saw Mary 

She lied and said it was her birthday 

But then she tried to kiss me and I said don't bother 

You know we don't really love one another 

And there is no use burning out this flame 

Oh, but then things changed in a way I couldn't predict 

She said I love you and it suddenly clicked 

That she was only saying what she wanted me to hear 

And I said please don't lie to me, Mary 

And I said please don't lie to me, Mary 

Oh, I said please don't lie 

Oh, it makes me cry in bed 

Oh, I said please don't lie 

Oh, it makes me cry in bed 

Oh, I said please don't lie 

Oh, it makes me cry in bed 

But she said shut your mouth 

You don't know what you're talking about 

Oh, she said shut your mouth 

You don't know what you're talking about
