Maryjoan

[Verse 1]
Down in the hay barn with Maryjoan
Rolling amongst the straw
Her arm outstretched a thousand times
With breath of ale, sweet and stale
My eyes lifted up to her, my eyes lifted up to her
My hands exploding through the hay-mound
My eyes lifted up to her, my eyes lifted up to her, to hear
My favourite song

[Chorus]
Maryjoan moves out of frame
And I’ve sown a seed without a name
Headless now, she is okay
My reaping scythe, is warm tonight

[Verse 2]
With ragged attire, I will roam this field
While my fathеr lays inside asleep
I touch the pumping gash across my face
Drеaming of a little change
And shake dead roots from my boots
My eyes are lifting up to see
The clouds are parting just for me
The turn where the dam ends is not an image
An image that I will forget, an image that I will forget

[Chorus]
Maryjoan moves out of frame
I’ve sown a seed without a name
Headless now, she is okay
My reaping scythe, is warm this night
Maryjoan slips out of frame
And I’ve sown a seed without a name
Headless now, she is alright, she’s doing okay
My reaping scythe, is warm tonight

[Bridge]
Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down
Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down
Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down
Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down
Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down
Heavy arms carry her down, down, down, down, down

[Refrain]
With your tongues so sly, and your sons so shy
Down, down, down, down
With your tongues so sly, and your sons in the sky
Down, down, down, down
With your tongues so sly, and your sons in the sky
Down, down, down, down
With your tongues so sly, and your sons so shy
Down, down, down, down

[Outro]
And all the villagers say
Down the silent street, across the swaying fields
And all the villagers say
Down the silent street, across the swaying fields
"I’m sorry"
