Mary's Mountain Lyrics - Singles - Gypsy Kyss

Near the town where I had grown up 

There was a place that I would climb to 

With greener pastures and truer flowers 

Fantastic daydreams I called Mary 

(Mary gave me free passage) 

Now I'm 100 miles off the mainland 

Many miles of Keller's Point 

100 miles out in the darkness 

So far out can't get my feet on the ground 

On a ship they call verity 

Oh, the peace in anonymity 

The curse of vocal obesity 

And the supply of mental fatalities 

Please take me back to Mary's Mountain 

I must go back to Mary's Mountain 

Leave me at the landing 

Pour me on the shore 

I'll swim in the new air of my childhood memories that are 

reborn Memories, be now true 

Spitting, turning, swirling ocean 

Cursing Scylla and Charybdis 

Fire! Fire! Serpent slayer 

Neptune offer me free passage 

Captain! Captain! The ship is oozing 

Cracking, squirming in the water 

Fire! Fire! Serpent slayer 

Neptune offer me free passage 

"Oh captain my captain! 

Our fearfull trip is done 

The ship has weathered every rack 

The prize we sought is won."
