Hail Mary Songtext
von Kevin Morby

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
And to achieve goal
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
In some cheap bar
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 boomed
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
