Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Mary Skeffington" lyrics


Mary Skeffington, close your eyesAnd make believe that you are just a girl againGo to sleep tonight, dream of daysWhen you had something there to light the way.
Remember a holiday in a north-of-England townYou slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown.
Mary Skeffington, when you wakeYou mustn't be afraid to face another dayThink of what you have, you'll get byYou've always been a lady so hold your head up high.
Look back on a home where you spent the best years of your lifeRemember the man who asked you if you would be his wife.
Mary Skeffington, close your eyesAnd make believe that you are just a girl againGo to sleep tonight, dream of daysWhen you had something there to light the way.
