Mary Watches Everything - Luka Bloom

Images of innocence

Coming through the prison walls

One fine day in England

Justice calls

Mary watches everything

In her living room alone

Televisions flickering

With the volume down

Everything is changing

In the outside world

There are signs of re-arranging

Softer spoken words

Here men talk in whispers

Of a woman or a girl

Things are only changing

In the outside world

Images of people

Turning power on it’s head

They walk across that danger zone

So many died or fled

Mary watches everything

In her living room alone

Televisions flickering

With the volume down

Everything is changing

In the outside world

There are signs of re-arranging

Softer spoken words

Here men talk in whispers

Of a woman or a girl

Things are only changing

In the outside world

Mary watches everything

She never heeds the bell

When the genuine and the curious ones

Come and ask if she is well

They talk and talk and hang around like everyday

Mary stays inside

Voices fade away

Everything is changing

In the outside world

There are signs of re-arranging

Softer spoken words

Here men talk in whispers

Of a woman or a girl

Things are only changing

In the outside world
