I burned my eyes on the summertime skies
Travelling a country mile
I've drowned my pain in the winter rain

And the sweetness of a smile

I've been possessed ? or maybe I'm blessed

By dreams I can't define
But can't you see there's a light in me
And I've got to make it shine


[Chorus]
Oh, sweet Mary

Mary don't you know
I may have come a long way
But I've got a long way to go


I've been through fire, I've been down to the wire
Just trying to find my name

I've soared as high as the wild birds fly
But I still came down the same


Now I may feel just a little more real
But I'm still more lost than found
And when night time comes I still need someone

To wrap my love around

[Repeat chorus twice]


[Instrumental]


[Repeat chorus]

Oh, sweet Mary

Mary don't you know
I may have come a long way
But I've got a long way, long way to go.
