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
