Oh Mary - Peter Bradley Adams

Oh Mary, sweet Mary I’ve lost my son

Oh Mary, sweet Mary, where has he run

There’s a hole in the ground where my heart won’t reach

Oh Mary bring him back home to me

Oh darkness, sweet darkness, don’t fall on him

Oh darkness, sweet darkness, don’t let him in

When I wake in the night, his voice cries weak

Oh darkness, say that it’s all a dream

Oh morning, bright morning, shine on him

Oh morning, bright morning, let the day begin

May he walk in the light where the red birds sing

Oh morning, rise on your open wings

Oh Mary, sweet Mary, it can’t be true

Oh Mary, sweet Mary, what shall I do

There’s a hole in the ground where my heart won’t reach

Oh Mary bring him back home to me

Oh Mary bring him back home to me
