Lyrics

CHARMS OF MARY

I WAS A POOR BOY
I WAS A LOST SOUL
I WAS NEVER HOME
ANYWHERE THAT I?D GO

NOTHING WAS DEAR TO ME
IDN?T SEEM CLEAR TO ME
THERE WERE TROUBLED SKIES
OVER EVERYTHING THAT I?D SEE
UNTIL SHE CAME AROUND

I?VE BEEN TOO LONG IN SOLITARY
NOW I?VE BEEN SMITTEN BY THE CHARMS OF MARY
WHEN LIFE GETS CRAZY, SHE?S MY SANCTUARY
I?VE BEEN TAKEN IN
BY THE CHARMS OF MARY...
BY THE CHARMS OF MARY

THERE WERE ROUGH DAYS
THERE WERE LONG NIGHTS
THERE WERE TIMES
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I?D BE ALRIGHT

SHE WAS AN ANGEL
JUST WHEN I NEEDED ONE
I?D BEEN TEN THOUSAND MILES
HAD SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE ON THE RUN
AND THEN SHE CAME AROUND...

I?VE BEEN TOO LONG IN SOLITARY
NOW I?VE BEEN SMITTEN BY THE CHARMS OF MARY
WHEN LIFE GETS CRAZY, SHE?S MY SANCTUARY
I KEEP RUNNING BACK
TO THE CHARMS OF MARY...
TO THE CHARMS OF MARY

LET THOSE BELLS RING ALL AROUND ME
I?M IN THE SHELTER OF THE ARMS OF MARY
WHEN I LOOK BACK NOW
HOW CLEARLY I SEE
SHE WAS ALL I EVER NEEDED

I?VE BEEN TOO LONG IN SOLITARY
NOW I?VE BEEN SMITTEN BY THE CHARMS OF MARY
WHEN LIFE GETS CRAZY, SHE?S MY SANCTUARY
I?VE BEEN TAKEN IN AGAIN
BY THE CHARMS OF MARY
