Sweet as Mary out of sheer love Runs the water Clean and beautiful Leaves it standing on a Sunday Here's the ritual
She has never been so pure has never been so pure
She throws down her trail of cigarette Sunday wishes Sunday wishes for his arrival This one blessing She wants nothing more
Out of sheer love Out of sheer love
She has never been so pure has never been so pure
Below the surface she comes up for air and She finds
She has never been so pure and full of desire She has never been so pure
Seven pale scars out so sheer love Seven pale scars Here's the ritual out of sheer love A small sacrifice Clean and beautiful
She has never been so pure has never been so pure
Below the surface of something too familiar She comes up for air, she's drowning in this shallow water Trying to believe, seek and you shall find
She has never been so pure has never been so pure
Out of sheer love Out of sheer love
She's drowning in shallow water Trying to have faith and it's hard Seek and you shall find Sweet as Mary Out of sheer love Runs the water Clean and beautiful
