Nick Mulvey - Begin Again (Love You Just The Same) lyrics

Mary was my mother's mother
And my sister too
There's rain in the river
And there's a river running through
To the sea around these islands crying
Tears of sorrow and pain
There's rain in the river and there's
A river in my veins

Mary, young as we may be you know
The blood in you and me is
As old as blood can be
Is as old as blood can be
As old as blood can be

Living lines of memory drew the
Markings on my hands
Ancient lines of living love are
Waking in this land
Saying, "I am in the city
In the forest and the field
I am in the bounty, come on
Know me as I yield
I am in the Falcon
In the Otter and the Stoat
I am in the Turtle Dove
With nowhere left to go"
In the moment of blind madness
When he's pushing her away
I am in the lover and in
The ear who hears her say

"Can we begin again? Oh baby, it's me again
I know you are so different to me
But I love you just the same
I love you just the same
Love you just the same
I love you just the same
(Love you just the same) "

Mary Ethel Ruddock 1912 to '72
Though we never met in flesh
Now I remember you
Were warm and you were gentle
You were modest you were kind
A mother, wife and gran
You were a woman of your time
But do we know your life in colour
Do we celebrate your flame?
Remembering your offering with a
Candle in your name?

Mary, young as we may be you know
The blood in you and me is
As old as blood can be
Is as old as blood can be
As old as blood can be

And I hear her say
"I am in the living, I am in the dying too
I am in the stillness can you
See me as I move?
I am in the Hawthorn
In the Apple and the Beech
I am in the mayhem and
The medicine of speech"
In the moment of blind madness
When he's pushing her away
I am in the lover and in
The ear who hears her say

"Can we begin again? Oh baby, it's me again
I know you are so different to me
But I love you just the same
I love you just the same
Love you just the same"

I am in the living, I am in the dying too
I am in the stillness can you
See me as I move?
