There was a blind girl with braids and a black dress Lived next to me i could tell you the address I saw her climb out her window one midnight In to the oak tree scared sacred with moonlight See Mary dance with the light on her shoulders She has a secret, like a lover discovers her Guardian angel with limbs white as lambs wool Expensive perfume on her feet Blind Mary taught me how eyes can make pictures I showed her mine and then she showed me all hers You have to close them she whispered a warning Be sure to open them before it’s morning See how we dance with the light on our shoulders We have a secret like lovers discovering Guardian angels with limbs white as lambs wool Expensive perfume on our feet Mary fell ill on a night in December And how they tried then to cool down her fever But she lay so still like a child in a manger While I closed my eyes tight and prayed for a savior Let Mary dance with the light on her shoulders Tell her a secret and let her discover her Guardian angel with limbs white as lambs wool Expensive perfume on his feet
