can you post the lyrics?

[hdsazama]

mother mary, full of grace, awaken all our homes are gone, our loved ones taken taken by the sea mother mary, calm our fears, have mercy drowning in a sea of tears, have mercy hear our mournful plea our world has been shaken, we wander our homelands forsaken in the dark night of the soul bring some comfort to us all, o mother mary come and carry us in your embrace that our sorrows may be faced mary, fill the glass to overflowing illuminate the path where we are going have mercy on us all

[hdsazama]

in fun'ral fires burning

each flame to your myst'ry returning

in the dark night of the soul

your shattered dreamers, make them whole,

o mother mary find us where we've fallen out of grace,

lead us to a higher place

in the dark night of the soul

our broken hearts you can make whole,

o mother mary come and carry us in your embrace,

let us see your gentle face, mary

You ought to hear the version by Conspirare. It's amazing.

Wow, that's really incredible. Thanks for the tip.

It's by Eliza Gilkyson from her CD "Paradise Hotel."
