St. Mary's Hand by Joseph Shenton published on 2023-12-19T14:36:19Z St. Mary’s Hand There might be nothing more Than what you thought she said That all those streams flowing may someday be Nothing more than a dried-up riverbed N’ all those voices of dissension Are nothing more than figments inside your head Take St. Mary’s hand Into Bedlam you will land There was an abundance of choice Until the choice was no longer theirs It stood unconcealed With its burdens to be bared She bore witness As belief fell away from their prayers Take St. Mary’s hand Into Bedlam you will land With a cold wind blowing Through your winter of discontent Release is coming You best hope it’s heaven sent Or the other axe might just fall N’ be the point to what it was she meant Take St. Mary’s hand Into Bedlam you will land Nothing changes but change itself Humbled opinion is spreading fast You board up your doors and windows N’ hope it ain’t gonna last She speaks in platitudes To placate any curse that’s been cast Take St. Mary’s hand Into Bedlam you will land It’s crowded at the bottom All who thought they were up have fallen now Talking in terms most unbecoming In an attempt to dissuaded somehow But she wanted different answers While they dined on the last vestiges of the fatted cow Take St. Mary’s hand Into Bedlam you will land From pillar to post They make their way Walking without purpose As the ol’ hinge of life just screeches away She kept on with the situation And led none astray Take St. Mary’s hand Into Bedlam you will land Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by No killie fish Great song Joseph 2024-01-02T12:54:00Z Comment by David Marconi Very nice song. I like your creative guitar work... such as those rakes that act perhaps like a cymbal crash. Nice work!!! 2023-12-31T21:35:38Z Comment by Dave Mohan A real original here.
