lyrics

Goodbye my Mary my child
Hold my place with this kiss
I’ll be home when the sun’s climbing high
I’m building a boat just to sink

Morning kicked stones down the road
One thousand miles rolling south
Axe heads sparked all the day all the night
They’ll dull ‘fore the sun goes down

Goodbye my Mary my child
Hold my place with this kiss
I’ll be home when the sun’s climbing high
I’m building a boat just to sink

Click clack comes the cart cut the hours down
Pack em in and tie em round
When night comes Im’a take them away
Wind me up for the morning
Cat’s cradle gonna fall in
Find me some new game to play

Goodbye my Mary my child
Hold my place with this kiss
I’ll be home when the sun’s climbing high
I’m building a boat just to sink

September went under the bus
The cracks opened up I peered through
Bought seeds to measure the months
Sowed under a new born moon

Blue bells to whip up the sea
Lion’s teeth did take to the wind
He didn’t come home that year
She still holds the place on her
