Mary Donnel lyrics

Voices calling me home where I belong
And I m longing to make myself that strong
And I come to you every night in my head
And I left home so long ago and it s time to make amends
When I left you I was just a child
Now I need you but I ve gone five hundred miles
And I ll find a way back into your arms
But I ve been gone for far too long to ever win your charms
Hey, I m going away
from the footlights here that blind me
Hey, what s that you say
I m leaving you behind me
Well my name is Mary Donnel and I m twenty-one today
I ve got my walking papers so there s nothing you can say
I m sick of this old one way town and farms and families too
I m off to find a better life and I don t need you
Hey, I m going away
from the footlights here that blind me
Hey, what s that you say
I m leaving you behind me
Now I m Mary from the south side and I ve just turned twenty-two
Working tables at the Black Dog and wearing out my shoes
And I guess if getting grabbed is all I m qualified to do
I need to find a better life where I don t need you
Hey, I m going away
I m leaving you behind me
Hey, what s that you say
your ties will never bind me
All my life, all my life
I ve wanted something I can t have
All this time, all my time
has all been wasted
Now I m just plain Mary and I think I m twenty-four
Walked the streets for two years now, it seems like ten or more
I m petrified and I m positive and I don t know what to do
Except to find a better life where I don t need you
Hey, I m going away
from the footlights here that blind me
Hey, what s that you say
there s nothing left inside me
Hey, I m going away
someplace you won t find me
Hey, what s that you say
these ties will never bind me
Hey, I m going away
I m leaving you behind me
Hey, what s that you say
no one can deny me
