Vic was kind enough to write out the lyrics, so this is the "official version". Mary Mary 83 Wiped the mess off my eyes with her apron strings Portraits painted hastily Don't tell nothin bout the heart Repression in a saint's disguise God only wise You know you don't own anything you could sell By itself I could say that forgiveness is there waiting It's there waiting by the Mary it's waiting by the To wear Grandma's hat pin you don't necessarily Have to agree with every thought she bore within I have trekked to the rock looked up to the hill See old man Get rid of anchored sin Is it hard to let someone pay Oh you know REPEAT You know you don't own anything you could sell By itself I could say that forgiveness is there waiting It's there waiting Stretch your toes Now the arms Lets reach for the sky Dilly dally too long wave bye bye Beat around the corner and the bushes become your friends I'm alright now She was alright then You know you don't own anything you could sell By itself I could say forgiveness is there waiting It's there waiting yes (REPEAT) Oh it's there waiting
