    Lyrics »

She keeps her head down as she walks away
From angry voices she hears every day
They fade behind her as she heads for the shore
Mary doesn’t want to hear the voices anymore

Mary grew up in this fisherman’s town
She’s wantched the boats go out
She’s seen her father drown
In beer and whiskey night after night
She walks alone and keeps the water in sight

Her father says she’ll never be anything
Her mother tells her get a wedding ring
They make her feel like nobody’s prize
But somewhere she’ll find the strength to survive

Down by the waterside, she’ll wash her pain away
Deep in the waters of the river of love
She knows she wants to fly
Where there’s no price to pay
Safe in the waters of the river of love...

Whe Mary was twelve she locked her bedroom door
She didn’t want to feel his hands anymore
By the light of day she knew just where she could run
Down by the water’s edge she didn’t fear anyone

Her father says she’ll never be anything
Her mother tells her get a wedding ring
They make her feel like nobody’s prize
But somewhere she’ll find the strength to survive

Down by the waterside, she’ll wash her pain away
Deep in the waters of the river of love
She knows she wants to fly
Where there’s no price to pay
Safe in the waters of the river of love...
