emmy the great - mary lyrics

[verse 1]
the fortune teller told me that my life was bound to fail
she said, “don’t make too many plans, that train goes off the rails
present is a gift, so don’t look it in the mouth”
she said a lot of things like this, she filled my head with doubt

[chorus]
the fortune teller’s name was mary and the things she told me were so scary
but in the end, none of it came true
in the cover of that night, i leaned over into the candlelight and i said, “mary, oh mary
oh, mary, does somebody lovе you?”

[post+chorus]
do you need somebody
to keep you warm
do you need somebody
to teach you how to mourn
whеn their gone

[verse 2]
by certain scales, a life goes by so very fast
some days go easy, some will wear you like a mask
the present is a gift, so don’t look it in the mouth
she said a lot of things like this, she had me freaking out

[chorus]
if your fortune teller’s name is mary and the things she tells you are so scary
in the end, none of it comes true
in the cover of that night, i leaned over into the candlelight and i said, “mary, oh mary
oh, mary, won’t you let me love you?”
[bridge]
i started looking out the window one day as the migratory geese were passing through
i don’t go in for crystal b+lls, but in that moment, i think i knew
mary had no talent with her with her tea leaves and her cards but she knew that one day she’d bring me pain
i still see her shadow fall across our yard
hope she wears a jacket when it rains

[outro]
oh mary, oh mary, oh mary, oh mary
oh mary, oh mary, oh mary, oh mary
oh mary, oh mary, oh mary, oh mary
oh mary, oh mary, oh mary, oh mary
oh mary, oh mary, oh mary, oh mary
(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
oh mary, oh mary, oh mary, oh mary
