Hail Mary - 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

Into cheap gold, a story told

You’ve 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 Pony made lots of money

Turned his soul into gold

Said, «Time's a funny motherfucker»

Got stolen cooling by the window

I’m still here, nursing a beer

In some cheap bar

And I can’t hear, it’s all white noise

So play it, boys

And take it, Meg

And I cried watching the runners

On the sidelines 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
