How the Mighty Fall

[Verse 1]
Church bells ringin', gospel singin'
Mary's limping up the steps to the worship hall
She was born in the afternoon
On V-Day in 1945 when Berlin falls
She was the toast of the town
Every boy would lay it down to serve her crown

[Refrain]
Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in time

[Verse 2]
Married to a congressman
Decided things way back when it's a curtain call
Looking in the mirrored night
The image staring back at her is all a lie
It seems a trick of the eye
Just yesterday she heard her baby's newborn cry

[Refrain]
Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in time

[Refrain]
Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in timе

[Bridge]
Just tearing through the pages and losing your mind
'Forе you know it you've reached your last line

[Refrain]
Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in time
Oh my, oh my
How the mighty fall in time
