Sweet as Mary out of sheer love
Runs the water
Clean and beautiful
Leaves it standing on a Sunday
Here's the ritual
She has never been so pure has never been so pure
She throws down her trail of cigarette
Sunday wishes
Sunday wishes for his arrival
This one blessing
She wants nothing more
Out of sheer love
Out of sheer love
She has never been so pure has never been so pure
Below the surface she comes up for air and
She finds
She has never been so pure and full of desire
She has never been so pure
Seven pale scars out so sheer love
Seven pale scars
Here's the ritual out of sheer love
A small sacrifice
Clean and beautiful
She has never been so pure has never been so pure
Below the surface of something too familiar
She comes up for air, she's drowning in this shallow water
Trying to believe, seek and you shall find
She has never been so pure has never been so pure
Out of sheer love
Out of sheer love
She's drowning in shallow water
Trying to have faith and it's hard
Seek and you shall find
Sweet as Mary
Out of sheer love
Runs the water
Clean and beautiful
