You left me stranded here
Abandoned and alone
With silly memories
Of things I've never known
So when the mystery
Is starting to grow old
Another dream goes by
Like ashes out of gold
Hail Mary
Hail Mary
Hail Mary
Won't you take my hand
Hail Mary
Forgive me Father for I do not understand
Just like the brightest light
Will fade away to black
There comes a time when there's
No reason to look back
I gave you everything
I gave you all I had
And when it all comes down
I know I won't be sad
Forgive me Father for I do not understand
