Misress Mary Ellen
The fruits too ripe spoiled to eat
Rotting on the ground trampled under feet
Search too high and you may fall
Grasp too close and bitter is the haul
Take a chance afield to eat
Fight the hunger or bare defeat
The spirits everlasting flame
Will return us from where we came
Mistress Mary Ellen
I can't live without you
Will you walk with me
Throughout the vineyard pasture
Mistress Mary Ellen
I will never doubt you
Can you comfort me
Throughout the pain and laughter
The leaves tumble in the autumn breeze
Protecting flowers through the winters freeze
Eternal lives of stories past
Stay alive from the seeds they cast
Mistress Mary Ellen I can't live without you
Will you walk with me
Throughout the vineyard pasture
Mistress Mary Ellen I will never doubt you
Can you comfort me
Throughout the pain and laughter
