lyrics

Funny Mary
Didn't fuss
She watched her daddy climbing drunk onto the bus
Pulled her hat down
And she pulled it tight
Pretended not to know the man who gave her life

Oh the week that
She gave birth
She wore pink and put a hat on, went to church
To distract from
All the hurt
Her little rag doll, tiny coffin in the earth
And all the blame and all the heartache it was hers

And my mama
With her diamond ring
Had a mockingbird, but couldn't make him sing
Tucked her babies
Beneath her wing
And didn't say a word, she didn't say a thing

So we pass our troubles down the line
They carry on and on each time
But when I reach, your hand finds mine
Finds mine
Finds mine

So, I'll be pretty
And I'll be fun
I'll shake the dust that's always gathering on my lungs
And these melancholy
Cumbersome
Feet that lead me towards the ever-setting sun
