Mary, Don't You Weep

I will be a bridge for you, over what is dark and deep
And I will be an arrow to what is out beyond our reach

But even though we're far away

Mary, don't you weep, oh Martha don't you moan
Sheri, don't you cry, oh Laura don't you groan
Pharaoh's army got drowned beneath the sea
All those horses paid the price, oh Mary

I will be a splint for you, keeping what is broken true
And I will be a thresher to pull away the tare from you

But underneath the amber waves

Mary, don't you weep, oh Martha don't you moan
Sheri, don't you cry, oh Laura don't you groan
Out beyond the deep, underneath the sea
There are bodies crumbling, oh Sheri

On dappled forest floor
Your voice had gone away
But your eyes were there
Oh, and they were closing their eyes

Mary, don't you weep, oh Martha don't you moan
Sheri, don't you cry, oh Laura don't you groan
At the end of time, when your family's dead
You will have the one you love instead
Oh, Sheri
Oh, Mary
Oh, Mary
