[Verse 1]
Oh, Mary of silence
You ate my heart with a smile
Oh, sweet Mary
Come inside for a while
Help me get a hold of you
Oh, I look in your light
I thought of myself beside you
Take me into your skin
[Refrain]
Oh, sweet Mary of silence
Oh, sleeping Mary of silence
[Verse 2]
We had a state of confusion
You're looking in fear
It doesn't seem like the first time
You walked out in a hurry
[Refrain]
Oh, sweet Mary of silence
Oh, sleeping Mary of silence
[Verse 3]
I look in, in your window
To check my head on your pane
My last thoughts say, "Come to me
Why can't you take me in?"
[Refrain]
Oh, sweet Mary of silence
Oh, sleeping Mary of silence
[Verse 4]
Help me walk with you
To the sky that we see
Shuddering in myself
It's not how it seems
[Bridge]
Oh, where, oh, where
Oh, where, sweet Mary of silence
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
Sweet Mary of silence
Sweet Mary of silence
