[ Featuring The Standing Band, The Cadbury Sisters ]
Dear Mary
I still picture you there
High summer
Swifts in the air
Now the wind's from the east
There's no sleep, no peace
In the usual hope of a feast
Sits a wolf at our door
Dear Mary
Tell me where they start
Which is quicker to the head or the heart
Now they're calling time
Drain the bottle dry
And try to forget for tonight, love of mine
Everything is harder now
Every sky grows darker now
All of me is aching
All of me is shamed
Everything is harder now
Every sky grows darker now
All of me is hoping for the sun
Expecting the rain
Dear Mary, we were fools to begin
Should have known dear
We never could win
Help me to my feet
I hear singing on the street
And If I stand I'll dance
Love of mine
Everything is harder now
Every sky grows darker now
All of me is aching
All of me is changed
Everything is harder now
Every sky grows darker now
All of me is hoping for sun
Expecting the rain
And I see shadows
Thrown by lightning and they flicker
And they're gone
I see shadows thrown by lightning
And the shape of the beast
In the coming storm
Dear Mary
They'll come for us soon
Take my hand dear
Spin me round this bare room
The music won't stop
We'll sing it till we drop
It's just a short drop
I'm expecting the rain
I know nothing will change
Mother here comes the rain
I know nothing will change
Mother here comes the rain
I'm expecting the rain
Noone's gonna be saved
Brother here comes the rain
Mary here comes the rain
