McLachlan Sarah Mary lyrics

McLachlan Sarah
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Mary
Mary walks down to the water's edge
And there she hangs her head
To find herself faded
A shadow of what she once was

She says, "How long have I been sleeping
And why do feel so old? Why do I feel so cold?
My heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go"

With trembling hands she reaches out
A stranger's flesh is offered

And I would be the last to know
I would be the last to let show
I would be the last to go

Take her hand
She will lead you through the fire
Give you back hope and
Hope that you don't take too much


Respecting what is left
She cradled us
She held us in her arms

Unselfish in her suffering
She could not understand
That no one seemed to have the time
To cherish what was given

And I would be the last to know
And I would be the last to let show
I would be the last to go

Mary walks...

And I would be the last to know
And I would be the last to let show
I would be the last to go
