Story behind the song

This song was a poem written by my friend Stephanie.  It's about the pain and hurt of being in an unrequited relationship.

Lyrics

Mary in the Water

Mary in the water,
Won't you tell me why you bother,
He reminds you of your father,
When he never touches you.

Lady in the morning,
Did you really need a warning?
When you beckoned to his scorning,
Every lie you thought was true.

And the times that you laughed
Because you knew the future,
Every day was still so cold.
And the times that you cried
Because you mourned the past,
Every night was so surreal.	

Dancing lady so alive
You know only the strong survive,
And time unto yourself prescribe,
Upon your knees you’re falling.
(Repeat)

Mary in the water,
Tell me why do you bother,
When there’ll never be another
Who will satisfy your heart. 

Now there are no words to calm you,
And your own thoughts wound and harm you,
Never enough time to smile,
You’re only happy for a little while.

And the times that you laughed
Because you knew the future,
Everyday was still so cold.
And the times that you cried
Because you mourned the past,
Every night was so surreal.	

Dancing lady so alive
You know only the strong survive,
And time unto yourself prescribe,
Upon your knees you’re falling.
