On A Sea Of Fleur-De-Lis - Richard Shindell

[04:22.0]On A Sea Of Fleur-De-Lis - Richard Shindell
[04:22.0]I adore thee Mother Mary
[04:22.0]But would you change me back to a witch
[04:22.0]And let me live in the arms of a sorry old elm
[04:22.0]Give the gypsy moths a realm of their own
[04:22.0]For a postman's fee would I work for Thee
[04:22.0]From that tree would I swoop down and leave
[04:22.0]A billion blue eggs of eternity
[04:22.0]And in no time you'd have your own See
[04:22.0]Don't just stare
[04:22.0]I mean it, really
[04:22.0]Hear my prayer
[04:22.0]I give it freely
[04:22.0]Are you there Fleur-de-Lis?
[04:22.0]I adore thee Mother Mary
[04:22.0]But would you change me back to a witch
[04:22.0]And let me live in the arms of willow
[04:22.0]And fly around not wearing a stitch
[04:22.0]For so long has this room been so hollow
[04:22.0]We wait at the gate for an echo
[04:22.0]In the flesh of your newly cleaned frescoes
[04:22.0]Where Jesus holds John to his breast
[04:22.0]Wrapped around
[04:22.0]And rocking slowly
[04:22.0]No one bound
[04:22.0]To be so holy
[04:22.0]In your gown of fleur-de-lis
[04:22.0]I adore thee Mother Mary
[04:22.0]But would you change me back to a witch
[04:22.0]As a witch would I love you more than any man
[04:22.0]So give a wink, give a nod, but give a damn
[04:22.0]Be a sport, Mary, and don't tell Dad
[04:22.0]He need never know how He's been had
[04:22.0]And never you mind about those seven seals
[04:22.0]Daddy was a one shot deal
[04:22.0]One, two, three
[04:22.0]It could be that easy
[04:22.0]There we'd be
[04:22.0]I with my baby
[04:22.0]On a sea of fleur-de-lis
[04:22.0]Do-re-mi
[04:22.0]It could be that easy
[04:22.0]There we'd be
[04:22.0]I with my baby
[04:22.0]On a sea of fleur-de-lis
