Oh and I would be the last to know
Oh and give you back hope
She said "How long have I been sleeping
Unselfish in her suffering, she could not understand
With trembling hands she reaches up
Oh, I would be the last to know
Oh and I would be the last to know
I would be the last to go
She will lead you through the fire
Oh, why do I feel so old, why do I feel so cold?
Respecting what is left
A shadow of what she once was
My heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go"
And hope that you won't take too much
She cradled us
No one seemed to have the time
I would be the last to let it show
Feel, feel harsh
I would be the last to go
I would be the last to let it show
To cherish what was given
Oh, she held us in her arms
And there she hangs her head
I would be the last to let it show
Mary walks
Stranger's flesh is offered
Take her hand
To find herself faded
