lyrics

The drunken rider swigs throughout the night
She sways from right to left and left to right
She grins her best to all she passes by
Her saddle holds her when she reaches down

She is every rider on the road
She is every camper on the side
She is every person with a house or a motel
She is every tiger, every mouse

Her ghostly form is real to all who look
And only can be touched by those who see
She lends a limb to every passing hack
And gets back double what she passes out

She is every brick in every wall
She is every river, every well
She is everything and everything is her
She is every story that you tell

A legend she becomes over time
And people start to walk with open eyes
But she is only real through those she knows
And if they close their eyes she disappears

She is every rider on the road
She is every camper on the side
She is every person with a house or a motel
She is every tiger, every mouse

She is every brick in every wall
She is every river, every well
She is everything and everything is her
She is every story that you tell

A strong background in classical music has her in good stead, though her music now suggests Jazz and Folk have been powerful influences. Mary’s songs are thoughtful yet frank, exploring human fragility, self-discovery and connection. ... more
