Maryanne Lyrics

Is it time to leave already?

Just when I thought I'd found me a home

I don't think that I'll ever be ready

Might as well take out my bones

When the rains come down this summer

I'll kiss you goodbye in song

For, anything less and anything more would

make out to some kind of wrong

The whiskey in your voice sounds pretty

You had me punch-drunk at hello

And you're holding your own in the city

Like a trade wind set sail for the shore

There's a loving in your eyes, soft shimmer

There's a promise you carry along

And when I'm waiting, I can't help but wonder

How your silence feels like a song

Before I became a man of the sea

I was sowing the fields of the brave

And tonight I'm a shadow of the man I used to be

The floods have led me astray

When you stayed behind

Did you know of my shame?

And you were so kind

Even though you didn't know my name

By the edge of a war-torn cape

I found a piece of my home

Oh but I was quite late

And you said you're not your own

O Father please give me a sign

Been running on borrowed time

I wanted to be your man

Didn't want you to feel so bad

When you're in over your head

I'd never meant to fall in sin

Was there ever a choice to begin with?

And so I'll leave in the middle of the night

While we're still free and the time's still right

You know I'll try, I'll try to forget

My Son, thou shalt not covet

My Son, thou shalt not covet
