| [00:24.65] |
mary, carry your babe |
| [00:27.60] |
bound up tight like lips around a whimper |
| [00:29.62] |
your fingers over my face |
| [00:33.29] |
blind eyed Samson driven to the temple |
| [00:36.05] |
and night birds digging until dawn |
| [00:39.55] |
freedom hangs like heaven over everyone |
| [00:42.45] |
ain't nobody knows what the newborn holds |
| [00:45.30] |
but his mama says he'll walk on water |
| [00:47.06] |
and wander back home |
| [01:24.59] |
mary, carry your shame |
| [01:27.55] |
well past all those eyes across the avenue |
| [01:30.51] |
fish heads running from rain |
| [01:33.29] |
you know i'll do anything you want me to |
| [01:36.31] |
lamp oil lovers may say |
| [01:39.11] |
freedom hangs like heaven over everyone |
| [01:42.34] |
ain't nobody knows what the newborn holds |
| [01:45.14] |
but his papa's going to hide shaking gristle |
| [01:47.43] |
and shaking like bone |
| [02:24.50] |
mary, carry my name |
| [02:27.44] |
hoof marks hacked up all i had to offer you |
| [02:30.32] |
looked all over this place |
| [02:33.16] |
lost your portrait lately when the winter blew |
| [02:36.26] |
in like herod and them |
| [02:39.28] |
freedom hangs like heaven over everyone |
| [02:42.30] |
ain't nobody knows what the newborn holds |
| [02:45.08] |
but a dollar says he'll lick that devil |
| [02:47.59] |
and do it alone |
