Suddenly Mary Lyrics - Singles - Posies

1, 2, 3, 4 

Suddenly Mary fell in the water 

Were not I weary I would have caught her 

I watched for a moment and scrambled in after 

Words of disownment were drowned out with laughter 

I awoke from a peaceful sleep 

And found my clothes under the table 

Aesop used to make me weep 

But now I'm part of Mary's fable 

Suddenly Mary fell in the water 

I found myself married to somebody's daughter 

"Loving," she told me, "Is a question of bravery" 

But when she started to hold me, it was closer to slavery 

I got up for a bite to eat 

And found my clothes inside the icebox 

I used to stand on my own to feet 

But now I sit when my new wife talks 

Suddenly Mary fell in the water 

She floated away with the ring that I bought her 

She had convinced me that I was a failure 

I burned all my clothing and found a new tailor 

Suddenly Mary 

Suddenly Mary 

Suddenly Mary 

Suddenly Mary 

Suddenly Mary's fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine, fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine, fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine, fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine, fine 

Suddenly Mary's fine
