Mary Ann and Him

"Mary Ann and Him"
Mary Ann, she waited
Like those pictures she'd painted
Of Mary Ann and him
Clingin' to a lover's sin

Julian, he was never that open
Kept her longing, all those words unspoken
About Mary Ann and him
Clingin' to a lover's sin

She was bound to holy moments
When love was strong and overflowing
Between Mary Ann and him
Clingin' to a lover's sin

Gazing upon her beauty, he lost all defence
His good intentions, never called for her patience
For stayin' in
Clingin' to a lover's sin

As indecision slowly set the tone
She clinged to the holy, t'keep from turning to stone
And unveiling the hidden sin
Of Mary Ann and him
