Lyrics

All alone
Somehow surrounded even
"Welcome, boy
It’s time to save us
Clean it up for momma
Take it down to the water
Get the blood out of the silk
It’ll come right out"

Boy is growing
He’s found some friends and even
Fell in love with the softest of all of them
Her name is Mary
They wanna get married
Bare-footed, broke the glass
Mazel tov

Get all the blood from the silk
It’ll come right out
Yeah for you I’ll sit so still
And never run

Boy ain’t old but
It is his time to leave us
She is standing right where she’s
Always been
Seeing heaven
Seeing heaven

Yeah, get the blood from the silk
It’ll come right out
Yeah and for you I’ll sit so still
And never run

Yeah, get the blood
From the silk
It’ll come right out, babe

Yeah and for you I’ll sit so still
Never running
