Mary Of The South Seas Lyrics

She boarded the boat a long time agoIt opened her up to the worldBut tmie goes so slowlyYou won't see it passA phone call from Dublin I'm with you at lastAnd I swear that I've always worked hard to be goodJust like I promised you onceAnd if I could spare youYou know that I wouldStrange things can happen in this heatMary of the South SeasMary of the SouthMary of the South SeasI feel your presenceDo you remember meThe sea is so swollen it's golden and silverAnd all is a beckoning waveThe beauty contestantOn a ship from SouthamptonThe stars look so different from hereMary of the South SeasMary of the SouthMary of the South SeasI feel your presenceDo you remember meI wish I could help you, it's hard to discoverThe ones that you love slip awaySo go on your journeyAnd when you recoverAll the dreams that you've buriedShall bloom in the dayMary of the South SeasMary of the SouthMary of the South SeasI feel your presenceDo you remember me
