Intro: C F Dm G
C
Mary walks
F Dm
Down to the water's edge
G
And there she hangs her head
C F
To find herself faded
Dm
A shadow of what she once was
G Em
She said 'How long have I been sleeping
F Dm
And why do I feel so old
G
Why do I feel so cold
C F Dm
My heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go'
F G F C
With trembling hands she reaches up
Dm G
A stranger's flesh is offered
F G F C
And I would be the last to know
F G F C
I would be the last to let it show
F G F C Dm G
I would be the last to go
C
Take her hand
F Dm G
She will lead you through the fire
C F
Give you back hope
Dm G
And hope that you won't take too much
Respecting what is left
C F
She cradled us
Dm G
She held us in her arms
C F Dm
Unselfish in her suffering she could not understand
F G F C
That no one seemed to have the time
Dm G
To cherish what was given
F G F C
And I would be the last to know
F G F C
And I would be the last to let it show
F G F C Dm G
I would be the last to go
( Dm G )
