Mary of the sorrows
Mary of the sorrows
When I am walking The endless trail, I know that you love me As I love Thee
I know your sadness As you know mine We walk together Our steps in time
There are candles at the altar As I kneel at the source Where I fetch the water Which gently pours
Each flower is a poem A fragrant rhyme Love seeded the planet And gave birth to time
๐๐น
Into Thy vessel My life be poured As it was in the cradle Before the word
From out of the ether From out of the mist The song of the river Where all the lovers first kissed
๐๐น
When I was younger You were my bride But now I am older I am your child
Deep in the forest The sweet smell of pine Beneath the mountain-top I ascendโฆ I climb
๐๐น
And life is golden And time is blue What joy to feel beholden To all that is you
I bathe in your starlight And I sip from my copper bowl I go down to the river To cleanse my soul
๐๐น
Heal me See me You feel my fractured mind
I stay with you I pray with you Your sorrowโฆ your sorrow is mine
๐๐น
Your angels are dancing I see the eyes of a deer A mysterious drumming Tells me you are near
Inside the castle A silver key Venus is my lover And you are She
๐๐น
Free me Be with me You know the missing chord
And I would pull From your heart I would pull Each one of those seven swords
๐๐น
Mary of the sorrows And sister of my heart Maiden of the moonlight And daughter of the stars
Mary of the mountain Lover of the free Mother of the ocean And the Queen of the sea
Your boat carries me
