Mary, can you forgive me, I never meant to hurt you You were so young, you were so free, you were the one Mary, there is no reason, with your soft touch and your tender voice You were so young, you were so free, you were the one All I ever saw was trouble, l was totally blind to you I am, you said, the bearer of all good things I didn't know how to take this so I left you Sail away into the ocean and the ocean will hide your tears Mary, can you pretend you never knew me at all I was so young, I was so wild, trying to be free There is nothing more to say, what kind of mother leaves their child this way
