You left me stranded here Abandoned and alone With silly memories Of things I've never known So when the mystery is starting to grow old Another dream goes by Like ashes out of gold
[chorus] Hail Mary Hail Mary Hail Mary Won't you take my hand Hail Mary Forgive me Father for I do not understand
Just like the brightest light Will fade away to black There comes a time when there's No reason to look back I gave you everything I gave you all I had, And when it all comes down I know I won't be sad
