Song Lyrics

(A long way to go do you know)

I've burned my eyes on the summertime skies traveling a country mile
I drowned my pain in the winter rain and the sweetness of a smile
I've been possessed or maybe I'm blessed by dreams I can't define
But can't you see there's a light in me and I've got to make it shine

Oh, sweet Mary, Mary, don't you know
I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go

I get through fire' I've been down to the wild just trying to find my name
I've soared as high as the wild birds fly but I still came down the same'
Now I may feel just a little more real but I'm still more lost than found
But when nighttime comes I still need someone to wrap my love around

Oh (oh), sweet Mary, (sweet, sweet) Mary, don't (Mary don't) you know (you know)
I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go
Oh, sweet Mary, Mary, don't (Mary don't) you know (you know)
I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go

Oh (oh), sweet Mary, (sweet, sweet) Mary, don't (Mary don't) you know (you know)
I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go
Oh, sweet Mary, Mary, don't ( Mary don't) you know (you know)
I may have come a long way but I've got a long way to go
