The New Pornographers - Arms of Mary / Looking at a Baby lyrics

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, and 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 on the first mistake
Summer wasn't gone and I'd learned
All she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take, yeah
So now, when I get lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when 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 on the first mistake
Summer wasn't gone and I'd 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, and I wish I was lying
In the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh, and I wish I was lying
In the arms of Mary
Oh, and I wish I was lying
In the arms of Mary

Looking at a baby, what do you see?
What do you see, looking at a baby?
