Late December when the wind was dying down
I came to your door to see you once more
But no one was there to answer my call
Your pain was deep and wide, you can't talk anymore
Oh Mary, why do you cry... alone?
Mary, why do you cry?
Many trials and tribulations
Don't put a smile on your beautiful face
You've closed your heart to your children
Whose sweet temptation troubles your faith
Oh Mary, why do you cry... alone?
Mary, why do you cry?
It's been so long since you came by
I missed the way how your voice calmed me down
The Earth was warm in your salvation
Now it's cold untouched by your hand
Oh Mary, why do you cry... alone?
Mary, why do you cry?
Your bed of roses can't comfort you
Just like the candles that are burning free
You try so hard to believe again
Down in your soul you just can't see
Oh Mary, why do you cry... alone?
Mary, why do you cry?
In late September the rain was pouring down
I saw you in my dreams with love in your eyes
Just for an instant I was alive
But when the darkness fled I opened my eyes
Oh Mary, why do you cry... alone?
Mary, why do you cry?
