(Michael Lardie, Alan Niven) Let the world be still tonight Let the fire be the only light Draw the curtain, pull down the shade In easy arms we'll lay So come on lady now close your eyes Let the madness pass on by Loosen up your golden hair Stroke away my every care There's no comfort in strangers That I can't find right here Layin' down in the arms of Sister Mary Will her lovin' ever last? Layin' down in the arms of Mother Mary Let the world drift past For a moment a perfect love Pure and silent like a star above Never mind 'bout tomorrow's fears Piece of mind is here Outside's a world of strangers So I will stay right here Layin' down in the arms of Sister Mary Will her lovin' ever last? Layin' down in the arms of Mother Mary Nothin' more to ask Let her lovin' come to you Let her lovin' come to you Oh her love will come to you and bring you home, yeah Outside's a world of strangeness So I will stay right here
