Sonata Arctica – Mary-Lou lyrics

Mamas put your babies to sleep,
story too cruelsome for them this is.
In Junior high she said goodbye
to her parents and ran away with a boy.
She left her family warm and kind,
all of her friends said "you´re out of your mind".
Life of her own she would find,
it´s monday and she´s gotta grind.
A Job as a waitress she sure was to find,
beautiful face, mind of a child.
Boy got her pregnant, Mary-Lou cried,
"For this I am too young oh why did you lie"
You said "it´s okay if we do it today",
I was so scared that you would go away.
"Despite all the papers been signed,
mama take me back be so kind".
Only a child, reckless and wild,
needs to come home again.
He promised the moon but won´t marry you.
Nothing to do, eating for two,
he´s goin´ out with someone new.
Sunshine or rain,
it´s all the same,
life isn´t gray oh Mary-Lou.
Mamas do your children still sleep,
in the safe of their cradles so sweet.
Story I told you I have forseen,
Your little angel ain´t always so clean.
Days to come aren´t easy to see,
You can change ´em but it isn´t free.
I see that you don´t believe, ooo-oo,
but you will see.
Only a child, reckless and wild,
needs to come home again.
He promised the moon but won´t marry you.
Nothing to do, eating for two,
he´s goin´ out with someone new.
Sunshine or rain,
it´s all the same,
life isn´t gray oh Mary-Lou.
