Lullaby #5: New Year's Prayer 13 Aug 11 Thomas Negovan

Now Mary, you don't know me but I've watched you for a long, long time
I have begged and bowed and pleaded and I've tried to walk a long, straight line
To be worthy of your mercy I have shed my skin
And lightened up my load
But I never had the nerve to bring you home
I've been watching you for lifetimes
I've been spinning like a ship without a sail
I have crossed a million mountains
I have killed the beasts that barred my way
To be worthy of your mercy I have shed my skin
And lightened up my load
But I never had the nerve to bring you home
...
Now Mary, if you can hear me,
I will promise you that I will sing this song
With all the faith that I can muster, and I pray that you will sing along.
If it echoes around the valleys
Then the satellite will bring it
To your room
And if you do right be me
Then my love would aim to please
I'd be on my knees
And pray to marry you.
