I keep on dreaming
Of the first time
I ever laid at your feet
The sun shone brightly
Silhouettes they danced behind your shoulder blades
It was there that I knew
I could lay my problems down
And you would listen to me
But then they told me to leave
Then they told me to leave
Said that I was obscene
Said that I couldn’t see you
But I know when you want someone
More than they need you
It only builds intrigue
There’s no better time
To long for pure things
The world is a shame
The world should be ashamed
And every time I get this weight on me
Every time I get these lusting needs
Every time I get these feelings
And I want it to be alright…
'Cause when you want it
You know that there is one thing that I need
Oh my sweet Mary
Would you marry me
We could all do childlike things
Oh my sweet Mary
I just want it to be alright…
