Emmy The Great - Mary lyrics

The fortune teller told me that my
Life was bound to fail
She said, "Don't make too many plans
That train goes off the rails
Present is a gift
So don't look it in the mouth"
She said a lot of things like this
She filled my head with doubt

The fortune teller's name was Mary and the
Things she told me were so scary
But in the end, none of it came true
In the cover of that night, I leaned over
Into the candlelight and I said, "Mary
Oh Mary oh, Mary, does somebody lovе you?"

Do you need somebody to keep you warm
Do you need somebody
To teach you how to mourn whеn their gone

By certain scales
A life goes by so very fast
Some days go easy
Some will wear you like a mask
The present is a gift
So don't look it in the mouth
She said a lot of things like this
She had me freaking out

If your fortune teller's name is Mary and the
Things she tells you are so scary
In the end, none of it comes true
In the cover of that night, I leaned over
Into the candlelight and I said, "Mary
Oh Mary
Oh, Mary, won't you let me love you?"

I started looking out the window one day
As the migratory geese were passing through
I don't go in for crystal
Balls, but in that moment, i think I knew
Mary had no talent with her with
Her tea leaves and her
Cards but she knew that one
Day she'd bring me pain
I still see her shadow fall across our yard
Hope she wears a jacket when it rains

Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary
Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary
Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary
Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary
Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary
(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary
