Cletis Carr - Mother Mary Lyrics
Mary waits at the Tudor HotelStrong and assured, yet so feminineStands so firm, not so much for herselfAs for the unborn baby she carries withinShe's there to decide on the right thing to doShould she run away, and never look backOr to go back home and face the truthCause her future's about to catch up her pastTake your time, Mother MaryStep light so you don't fallYou know, life's just like a babyWe all want to walk before we crawlShe looks through her bag on the marble tilesA photograph of a brown-eyed manShe keeps it close, she says for her childShould he ever need to see his DadShe breathes a sigh and whispers his nameToo many things still left unsaidMostly pride, and just a little shameThis world doesn't like it's mothers unwedTake your time, Mother MaryStep light so you don't fallYou know, life's just like a babyWe all want to walk before we crawlAn old woman stares out the window, lonely and lostAn old couple sits at a table, and Mary thinks, that could be usMary waits at the Tudor HotelPicks up her bag, makes up her mindThe doors revolve like a circus carouselTakes one last look, says goodbyeTake your time, Mother MaryStep light so you don't fallYou know, life's just like a babyWe all want to walk before we crawl
