Mary Fairy

Oh Mary, I knew you when you were a queen
Seems like such a long long time ago
Oh Mary, your magic was a song in green
And like the grasses you did grow
You were Sister to the trees,
Buds tossing in the spicy breeze, o Mary
.Mary fairy

Oh Mary, once you were a sacred holy seed
Such a priceless gift you gave
Oh Mary, you gave the people all they'd need
Till warriors came and made us slaves
You fed and clothed us, washed our backs
While wind in your sails kept us on tack, o Mary
Mary fairy

O Mary, now they've gone and thrown you away
no Mary can't come out to play
O Mary, no more in breezes do you sway,
to know her is a crime today
Your gifts are gone, they're stamping you out
the outrage makes me want to shout
Those law-drugged louts are killing her kind
Washing our brains clean, robbing us blind, Mary

Truth to tell, I've no desire
to burn my ashes on this pyre
I can't plant you in my garden,
I won't tend your budding branches
I'm afraid of the long-armed warriors,
With those wolves, I will not dance
With those wolves, I dare not dance
Don't want to sell my soul to law-yers
Won't somebody give Mary a chance
Won't somebody give Mary a chance

O Mary, responsibility I gladly take
no more shall they steal my soul away
O Mary, I will learn the magic that you make
no more slavery, no more will they take

in her breast I rest, like a bird in the nest
like a babe in the womb, like a corpse in a tomb…
Like a mermaid swimming on the waves
Like a body stirring in its grave
Reaching for Mary
Mother Mary, Mary fairy
O Mary
