You promised me the moon, familiar tune
I took you at your word, so absurd
My heart is worse for wear, it's so unfair
You left the cupboard bare, but I still care
Oh Sister Mary, you can't choose who you love
Oh Father Leary, your love ain't good enough
You set the church on fire and burnt it down
The angel in the choir, you left town
You brought me to my knees despite my pleas
You killed me by degrees and hit the freeze
Oh Sister Mary, you know your love's in vain
Oh Father Leary, how could you cause such pain?
