Mary Lyrics - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy - Sarah Mclachlan

Mary walks 

Down to the water's edge 

And there she hangs her head 

To find herself faded 

A shadow of what she once was 

She said "How long have I been sleeping 

And why do I feel so old 

Why do I feel so cold 

My heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go" 

With trembling hands she reaches up 

A stranger's flesh is offered 

And I would be the last to know 

I would be the last the let it show 

I would be the last to go 

Take her hand 

She will lead you through the fire 

Give you back hope 

And hope that you won't take too much 

Respecting what is left 

She cradled us 

She held us in her arms 

Unselfish in her suffering she could not understand 

That no one seemed to have the time 

To cherish what was given 

And I would be the last to know 

And I would be the last to let it show 

I would be the last to go... 

Mary walks
