lyrics

She cries like an old wooden casket / But she sings like a new shiny harp / She puts all her eggs in one basket / And then she walks alone in the dark / Mary Fairweather sits in her tree / Watching the angels go by / They hear her ever so faintly when she sings / And then they wake up when she cries / She moves like a whiskey-soaked flag / Drowning the wind with her sighs / Moving her lips like a game of tag / They never look into her eyes / She knows that she's going to have to get out / Get up, get out of that town / Close your eyes and hope that this time / Will be when your feet touch the ground / Mary Fairweather jump from that tree / Don't let the world pass you by / Let them all hear when you sing / And they will be the ones that cry
