Jesus said to Mary
"Lord, the things we do for love"
Well, do you think I seem self-conscious?
It's only you I'm thinking of
I was hiding in the bathroom
Quite unable to cry
Now I'm weeping with a vengeance
Since your voice came down the line
I moved up from the country
Though I never could have stayed
I just dipped my hands in the water
And got carried away
ย
Would you put me down
Just for being around
At the wrong time of day?
Would you leave me while I'm sleeping
Out through the fire escape?
They tell me swans do fly
Across a perfect sky
And it's the purest sky tonight
So you desert me in the morning
On account of your cruelty and spite
I moved up from the country
To wave a goodbye to all that
I just left her on that riverboat
And I never will learn that

Jesus said to Mary
"Lord, the things we do for love"
Well, did she think he was self-conscious?
It was only her he was thinking of
I was hiding in the bathroom
Quite unable to cry
Now I'm weeping with a vengeance
These are tears of joy, oh my
I moved up from the country
Though I never could have stayed
I just dipped my hands in the water
And got carried away
