about

This song maybe could be a bonus to Dave's Basement Tracks but both the original from Janis Ian and my love for Lady Mary Crawley needs a single. Since this is a parody but so close to Janis's song, I really don't feel right taking any money for the song. It's beautiful, go find Janis's version and buy it. If people send me too much money for this, I'll figure out how to send it to Janis; Lady Mary really doesn't exist except in my dreams. I suppose buy Gaelic Storm's she might get a royalty off of that one.

lyrics

Lady Mary Crawley’s Eyes.

Mary's eyes are auburn hue
And her hair's Newcastle gold
And she walks the thin white line between the body and the soul. She's as faithful to her history
As a servant to his last;
For she's standing on the bones of England’s past.

Chorus:
She's singing of the graces
And the balance of the grand,
'Til I can almost feel my senses slipping through my trembling hand. And I wonder as I hear her,
That the spirit still shines through
And she can reach across the ocean deep and break my heart in two...
Mary's wise and she is foolish;
She's as constant as the tide.
For it's a woman's heart that beats beneath that stubborn girl’s pride.
We are saints and we are sinners,
We are heros we are theives. We are all of us servants on the road to the abbey.

Chorus

So let us cheer of glass of wine
To the East where Downton lies, And we will stare across the waters For a glimpse of Mary's eyes.
We are ships without a harbor,
We are sailors on dry land,
And the show goes on forever Even though the Crawley’s can't.

Originally written by Janis Ian inspired by Mary Black, Rephrased by Dave Schipper
