I can see her standing alone all the men in the world and she longed for none I can see her bowing her head in that silent room as she forges ahead I can see her call out the name of the love of her life; it won’t be in vain And I know they said things that hurt but you didn’t speak a word
(Chorus)
And I wish I was there to defend you Lady Mary And I will honor your name in my heart Lady Mary And I think of your love and your laugh and your tears and the fact that you’re gone I’m so torn And I wish I was there Lady Mary
I can see you crying in fear but you’re like the angel that came so near And you must know that blessed is your face and blessed is your soul and your trace
(Chorus)
And I wish I was there to defend you Lady Mary And I will honor your name in my heart Lady Mary And I think of your love and your laugh and your tears and the fact that you’re gone I’m so torn And I wish I was there Lady Mary
(Bridge)
Oh Lady Mary I still search for the traces of your soul In my heart and in the hearts of the people I know A timeless woman with something to teach On what it’s like to really be free You were all the inspiration this man could ever need
(Chorus)
And I wish I was there to defend you Lady Mary And I will honor your name in my heart Lady Mary And I think of your love and your laugh and your tears and the fact that you’re gone I’m so torn And I wish I was there Lady Mary
