Bow To The Sad Lady [Mara Lisa] lyrics

Mara Lisa waves her hand at the car

With a stick and a rose-colored shawl

Fighting of tears of a dull and a deafening pain

They'll repay every senseless act

They ever borrowed from you

Oh, just wait and you will see, won't you, Mara Lisa?

Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades

Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa?

Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard

Up onto the porch to a sip of tea

Wounded soldier with a cane and a bitter remedy

You'll repay every trick you pulled

On the boys that were lost out at sea

Oh they drowned in your memory, didn't they, Mara Lisa?

You'll repay every senseless act

To the boys who were dead in the field

Oh you know they're were already killed, don't you, Mara Lisa?

Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades

Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa?

Were you even capable of love?

If you were, then how do you know

Innocence keeps tabs on the ones it can't see

It wet it's lips, and it said "Mara Lisa"

Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard

Up onto the porch to a sip of tea

Wounded woman with a cane and a bitter remedy

You'll repay every trick you pulled

To the boys that were lost out in the field
