The lights shine down the valley The wind blows up the alley. Oh and I wish I was Lying in the arms of Mary. She took the pains of boyhood And turned them into feel good. Oh how I wish I was Lying in the arms of Mary. Mary was the girl who taught me All I had to know. She put me right on my first mistake. Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned All she had to show She really gave all a boy could take Oh oh. So now when I get lonely Still looking for the one and only. That's when I wish I was Lying in the arms of Mary. Mary was the girl who taught me All I had to know. She put me right on my first mistake. Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned All she had to show She really gave all a boy could take. The lights shine down the valley The wind blows up the alley. Oh and I wish I was Lying in the arms of Mary. Lying in the arms of Mary. Lying in the arms of Mary oh.
