Kevin Morby - Hail Mary Lyrics

Naomi got married
And Flannery became a dancer
And Ben got a baby girl
'Fore mama got sick with cancer
And Lady believed in something holy
So much she went to war
Said, "I'm not her, you don't know me
Gone somewhere I ain't never been before"

I'm still here
Weaving a tear
Until the sheep go
A story told
You got a gift
Now give it to me

And Hail Mary
Oh, go long
May I never do you wrong

And Erin flew off the handle
And I went to the funeral
For her, I lit many candles
She was beautiful, I knew her
And Pauline made lots of money
Turned her soul into gold
Said, "Time's a funny motherfucker"
God's toll calling by the window

I'm still here
Nursing a beer
In some sheep barn
And I can't hear
It's all white noise
So play it, boys
And take it now

And I cried watching the runners
On the satellite of the marathon
And I dreamt my friend was the winner
And don't you know it, babe, he was
Oh, I love you
Oh, my child
How the crowd went dizzy
How the crowd went wild
And you, my friend
You feel like fire
As the speakers boom
A soft Sinatra
New York, New York
It's us this time
We're all winning
We're alive

So Hail Mary
Oh, go long
Cross my heart, hope I die
In your arms
May I never do you wrong
