Mary Donnel lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Mary Donnel lyrics Voices calling me home where I belong And I m longing to make myself that strong And I come to you every night in my head And I left home so long ago and it s time to make amends When I left you I was just a child Now I need you but I ve gone five hundred miles And I ll find a way back into your arms But I ve been gone for far too long to ever win your charms Hey, I m going away from the footlights here that blind me Hey, what s that you say I m leaving you behind me Well my name is Mary Donnel and I m twenty-one today I ve got my walking papers so there s nothing you can say I m sick of this old one way town and farms and families too I m off to find a better life and I don t need you Hey, I m going away from the footlights here that blind me Hey, what s that you say I m leaving you behind me Now I m Mary from the south side and I ve just turned twenty-two Working tables at the Black Dog and wearing out my shoes And I guess if getting grabbed is all I m qualified to do I need to find a better life where I don t need you Hey, I m going away I m leaving you behind me Hey, what s that you say your ties will never bind me All my life, all my life I ve wanted something I can t have All this time, all my time has all been wasted Now I m just plain Mary and I think I m twenty-four Walked the streets for two years now, it seems like ten or more I m petrified and I m positive and I don t know what to do Except to find a better life where I don t need you Hey, I m going away from the footlights here that blind me Hey, what s that you say there s nothing left inside me Hey, I m going away someplace you won t find me Hey, what s that you say these ties will never bind me Hey, I m going away I m leaving you behind me Hey, what s that you say no one can deny me song lyrics
