Sonata Arctica – Mary-Lou

Mamas put your babies to sleep,
story too cruelsome for them this is.
In Junior high she said goodbye to her parents
and ran away with a boy.
She left her family warm and kind,
all of her friends said you´re out of your mind.
Life of her own she would find,
it´s monday and she´s gotta grind.

A Job as a waitress she sure was to find,
beautiful face, mind of a child.
Boy got her pregnant,
Mary-Lou cried, For this I am too young oh why did you lie
You said it´s okay if we do it today,
I was so scared that you would go away.
Despite all the papers been signed, mama take me back be so kind.

Only a child,
reckless and wild,
needs to come home again.
He promised the moon but won´t marry you.
Nothing to do,
eating for two,
he´s goin´ out with someone new.
Sunshine or rain,
it´s all the same,
life isn´t gray oh Mary-Lou.

Mamas do your children still sleep,
in the safe of their cradles so sweet.
Story I told you I have forseen,
Your little angel ain´t always so clean.
Days to come aren´t easy to see,
You can change ´em but it isn´t free.
I see that you don´t believe, ooo-oo,
but you will see.

Only a child,
reckless and wild,
needs to come home again.
He promised the moon but won´t marry you.
Nothing to do,
eating for two,
he´s goin´ out with someone new.
Sunshine or rain,
it´s all the same,
life isn´t gray oh Mary-Lou.
