[Intro] C  F  Dm  G 

C
Mary walks
 F                  Dm
Down to the water's edge
G
And there she hangs her head
   C                  F
To find herself faded
                  Dm
A shadow of what she once was
G         Em
She said "How long have I been sleeping
F             Dm
And why do I feel so old
G
Why do I feel so cold
   C                        F               Dm
My heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go"
      F        G         F       C
With trembling hands she reaches up
  Dm                    G
A stranger's flesh is offered
 F         G        F      C
And I would be the last to know
F       G              F      C
I would be the last to let it show
F       G       F       C  Dm  G
I would be the last to go

C
Take her hand
F                         Dm       G
She will lead you through the fire
C                  F
Give you back hope
                         Dm           G
And hope that you won't take too much

Respecting what is left
    C          F
She cradled us
             Dm         G
She held us in her arms
  C                       F             Dm
Unselfish in her suffering she could not understand
F           G         F       C
That no one seemed to have the time
Dm                  G
To cherish what was given
F         G        F      C
And I would be the last to know
F         G        F      C
And I would be the last to let it show
F       G       F       C  Dm  G
I would be the last to go
