  • What's behind Mary's eyes
    Mary's eyes
    Mary's eyes

    The death midwife
    Can you bring her back to life
    The death midwife
    Can you bring her back to life

    Sister despair
    Sister despair
    Can you bring the dream king to me
    Sister despair
    Hide your tears around Mary
    We've got to get her to
    Joy to the world
    Joy to the world

    Hymns for us to sing
    She's a believer
    Hymns locked in her memory
    I'm a believer they're the key

    What's behind Mary's eyes
    Patterns matter
    Stringing sequences together matters
    To bring, bring her back to us

    What's behind Mary's eyes
    Mary's eyes
    Mary's eyes

    The death midwife
    Can you bring her back to life

    Sister despair
    Sister despair
    She must not see you cry
    Hide your tears
    Can't we just bring her delight

    Hymns for us to sing
    She's a believer
    Hymns locked in her memory
    I'm a believer they're the key

    What's behind Mary's eyes
    What's behind Mary's eyes
    Mary's eyes
    Mary's eyes
