Arms of Mary  

written by Ian Sutherland (Chrysalis Music)

Leo  Kottke's 1994 album Perculiaros

The light shines down the valley
the wind blows up the alley
oh - and I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood
and turned them into feel good
oh an I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
she put me right by my first mistake
summer wasn't gone when I learned all she had to show
she really gave all a boy could take.

So now when I get lonely
still lookin' for the one and only
that's when I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary



Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
she put me right by my first mistake
summer wasn't gone when I learned all she had to show
she really gave all a boy could take.

The light shines down the valley
the wind blows up the alley
oh when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

lying in the arms of Mary
lying in the arms of Mary
