Arms of Mary

The lights shine down the valley, the wind blows up the alley
Oh well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood, and turned them into feel-good
Oh how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn’t gone when I learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
So now when I get lonely, still looking for the one and only
That’s when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
The lights shine down the valley, the wind blows up the alley
Oh well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Lying in the arms of Mary
