Lyrics
she never said she wanted to
when he took hold, said i love you
she tried to escape, he was too strong
so there it went
he took her by the hand
then left her lying there
soaked in a pool of red
one day she'd be found dead
the town is outraged, wants revenge
her killer fled into the night
today the front page of the news
twisted and spun to fit their views
but nonetheless, the worst is done
'cause mary's dead
(chorus)
and when she cried, did we stop to care
and when she died, the guilt we'll have to bear
so wave goodbye, and she'll fade away
beside her grave, i lie, my mary's dead
poor mary ran into the night
to cool her head after a fight
he took her hand and gained her trust
only to steal her life away
and now blood's on my hand
for i let her run away
and as the casket door shuts tight
a dark cloud reigns over this town
oh mary, i, your trust i've failed
and here you lay there beneath the earth
i'll lay with you till my dying breath
until the day we meet again
