Sweet Mary Lyrics
[Chorus]
When I am all on my own
One foot is in the grave
My Sweet Mary comes
To help me to find my way
So I give her my thanks
I don't know what I would do
Without out my Sweet Mary love
To help me to make it through
[Verse 1]
Ghost come out at nighttime
I hear the rumble of thunder
Flashes of light to follow her
Wherever she goes so pretty
But I will never ever touch her
Cause if I did she might die
I just smile and look on
As she leads me to the wondrous sights
[Chorus]
When I am all on my own
One foot is in the grave
My Sweet Mary comes
To help me to find my way
So I give her my thanks
I don't know what I would do
Without out my Sweet Mary love
To help me to make it through
[Verse 2]
What did I do to deserve this
Give my life to a tiger
Give my last food and water
To a strange wayfarer
I'm so blessed in this life
I wanna show my gratitude
She is so beautiful when she flies
I wanna see her fly high away
[Bridge x3]
Who is she?
I wanna know
Who is she?
(My heart is stolen)
I wanna know
(My heart is stolen)
[Chorus]
When I am all on my own
One foot is in the grave
My Sweet Mary comes
To help me to find my way
So I give her my thanks
I don't know what I would do
Without out my Sweet Mary love
To help me to make it through
When I am all on my own
One foot is in the grave
My Sweet Mary comes
To help me to find my way
I don't know what I would do
Without out my Sweet Mary love
To help me to make it through
Ghost come out at nighttime
I hear the rumble of thunder
Flashes of light to follow her
Wherever she goes so pretty
Cause if I did she might die
I just smile and look on
As she leads me to the wondrous sights
When I am all on my own
One foot is in the grave
My Sweet Mary comes
To help me to find my way
I don't know what I would do
Without out my Sweet Mary love
To help me to make it through
What did I do to deserve this
Give my life to a tiger
Give my last food and water
To a strange wayfarer
I wanna show my gratitude
She is so beautiful when she flies
I wanna see her fly high away
Who is she?
I wanna know
Who is she?
(My heart is stolen)
I wanna know
(My heart is stolen)
When I am all on my own
One foot is in the grave
My Sweet Mary comes
To help me to find my way
I don't know what I would do
Without out my Sweet Mary love
To help me to make it through

Is this about the Virgin Mary?
@atamata No, I don't think so. Maybe the original lyrics said "hari Krishna" but they changed it to Sweet Mary :P

Great track, possibly one of the best Weezer tracks of years. It has strong vibes of "My sweet lord".
