Mary and the Storm

Mary and the Storm
Come Mary, come and watch the storm.
Mother's fears are tired sleepers
beyond her silent windowsill.
Father's peering eyes now fade with weight.
We'll run like silent phantoms
Free until the dawn.

We're entwined in midnite's embrace.
Your house, a purple prison
so far away.
I'll hide our game in the treetops
and sleeping phantoms we will chase.
Come Mary, come and watch the storm.
Mother's candle has exhausted
She's dreaming of your birth.
Father's clever watch is laid to sleep.
Downstairs i wait for you
beyond the boards that creak.
We're entwined in midnite's embrace.
Your house, a purple ruin
so far away.
I'll hide our game in the treetops
and sleeping phantoms we will chase.
Mother's will is far away.
Father's fists are far away.
We set the horses loose tonite.
Unbridled freedom, Blessed night.
Unbidled Freedom
Blessed night.
Come Mary, come and watch the storm
with me
tonite.
