Morris P Rainville - After She Is Gone (Mary's Song)
	lyrics
AFTER SHE IS GONE by Bob Grez God loves Mary cause shes paid her dues. Wearin galoshes shes no front page news. She picks up junk left out on the street. Sells it on the corner for a quarter a piece. She goes buys candy for kids on the block. And hands it out free when theyre throwin rocks. Dont worry about Mary she still cracks a smile. Shes takin much worse and its been a while. Chorus Life will go on, long after shes gone. Life will go on, long after she is gone. Shes dressed in rags, shes never bought clothes. Ol Mary has sock holes showing her toes. She aint had a man in thirty five years. But shes long stopped crying over broken dreams. Scrounging for food scraps when shes feelin pain. They escort her out of McDonalds again. She doesnt slow down, shes afraid of the dark. So she keeps movin just pushin her cart. She sleeps in the hallways when its snowin outside. If they dont kick her out, shell be just fine. But in the hot summers, she just loves to be free. She sleeps in the yards past Liberty Street. Now Mary sure knows it aint far to go, if she dont get over her twenty year cold. Theyll put her in the ground in her own grave, where even a rich man gets treated the same. This is a beautiful Bob Grez song and I was honored to have the opportunity to record it. Definitely a labour of love. (BMI)
