C F
I adore thee mother Mary
C G
But would you change me back to a witch
And let me live in the arms of a sorry old elm
F C G
Give the gypsy moths a realm of their own
C F
For a postman's fee, would I work for thee
C G
And from that tree would I swoop down and leave
A billion blue eggs of eternity
F C G
And in no time you'd have your own sea
Am F
But don't just stare
C
I mean it, really
G Am F
Hear my prayer
C
I give it freely
G Am F C G
Are you there Fleur-de-Lis?
C F
I adore thee mother Mary
C G
But would you change me back to a witch
And let me live in the arms of willow
F C G
And fly around not wearing a stitch
C F
For so long has this room been so hollow
C G
We wait at the gate for an echo
In the flesh of your newly cleaned frescoes
F C G
Where Jesus holds John to his breast
Am F
Wrapped around
C
And rocking slowly
G Am F
No one bound
C
To be so holy
G Am F C G
In your gown of fleur-de-lis
C F
And I adore thee mother Mary
C G
But would you change me back to a witch
As a witch would I love you more than any man
F C G
So give a wink, give a nod, but give a damn
C F
Be a sport, Mary, and don't tell dad
C G
He need never know how he's been had
And never you mind about those seven seals
F C G
'Cause daddy was a one shot deal
Am F
But one, two, three
C
It could be that easy
G Am F
There we'd be
C
I with my baby
G Am F C G
On a sea of fleur-de-lis
Am F

C
It could be that easy
G Am F
There we'd be

I with my baby
G Am F C G
On a sea of fleur-de-lis
