about

Hey friends! Here's another new one. I'm really loving the idea of just making these rough demos (this one's just one take in my room, with minimal editing and just a couple background vocals) and posting them here.

I don't have an actual "Mary" in my life, but this song is a combination of a bunch of loved ones and experiences. It's about those times when someone you love is struggling and you want to be there for them without going there with them. It's a fine line.

lyrics

Mary
by Kate Klim

Mary you have always been troubled
Mary your work will never be done
Happiness is like learning to juggle
To some is comes easy, to some it's hard won

Mary you were born in the winter
Maybe you just never found spring
How I hope that one day you find it
That silver lining

Cause I gave you my coat at the changing of seasons
I threw you a line when you thought you might drown
Now you stand at a doorway with all of your demons
And I can't follow you down
Mary I can't follow you down

Mary I get lost in your poems
Mary I get high on your songs
You told me once that the parts that are broken
Are the parts that are brilliant, you'll be sad when they're gone

But I gave you my coat at the changing of seasons
I threw you a line when you thought you might drown
Now you stand at a doorway with all of your demons
And I can't follow you down
Mary I can't follow you down

Oh and Mary, when you need me I'll be waiting on the other side
And Mary, when you're ready, I will be here with my arms stretched wide
But Mary this isn't my war
And Mary this isn't my fight

But I'll give you my coat at the changing of seasons
I'll throw you a line when you think you might drown
you stand at a doorway with all of your demons
And I can't follow you down
Mary I can't follow you down
