demo recording by Nick Cosimano of Indian Ledge Records

lyrics

Marry me miss Mary Jean
My hands are washed my clothes are clean
I've never seen the morning break the way it did today
And this moment is a memory we share
It's a good life and easy to bear

Clarity is a rarity and indeed I'll need another drink
to help me think the whole thing through
In my mind there are these binds that keep me here
It's a good life and easy to bear

You don't know how much I trust you
Not to be foolish with yourself
I bear the whole of the weight that crushed you
Cause I can't do anything else...

Prepare to meet disparity
it knows no bounds, his charity
His charming eyes rolling forever round
The only sound is angels whispering in the air
It's a good life and easy to bear

Bury me near the family tree
Where the earth is soft and roots run deep
The loose ends of my life could gather
To gaze upon my bones
And on my stone a cold reminder written there
It's a good life and easy to bear

You don't know how much I miss you
And how much I wish I could stay
I hear the moan of a distant whistle
And I know your train it ain't coming back
The tracks only run one way....
