Alison Moyet - Mary, Don't Keep Me Waiting

Written by Moyet/Glenister



Mary Mary don't keep me waiting

There's not light enough to see and you know

If I'm not there when he gets back home

He's going to come out looking for me



Don't take what you can't carry

Don't keep what you don't need

Full speed please Mary won't you hurry back

The sky is black and it's menacing me



Mary did you change your motor car

You're just to far away to see



Mary Mary don't keep me waiting

There's not air enough to breathe and you know

If I'm not there when he gets back home

He's going to come out looking for me



Tell no-one where you're going

Speak not one word of me

Mary please believe me, I,

I tell no lie

I have an eye for some troublesome things



Mary did you come alone now

I'm just too far away to see



Big tree won't you be my cradle

Rock me but don't let me sleep

Keep me secret if you're able to

'Til Mary comes I'm counting on you



Mary are the headlights blinking there

I'm just too far away to see
