The lights shine down the valley

The wind blows up the alley

Oh how I wish I were lying in the

Arms of Mary



She took the pains of boyhood

And turned them into feel good

Oh hw I wish I were lying in the

Arms of Mary



Mary was the girl who taught me all I had

To know--she put me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had

To show--she really gave all a boy could take



So now when I feel lonely

Still looking for the one and only

That's when I wish I were lying in the

Arms of Mary



Mary was the girl who taught me all I had

To know--she put me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had to show

She really gave all a boy could take...



The lights shine down the valley

The wind blows up the alley

Oh how I wish I were lying in the

Arms of Mary
