Bruno Deneckere - the facts lyrics

rate me

<b>the facts</b> by <i>Bruno Deneckere</i><br />Old wise Mary dropped the drinks on the table

in cold january,wearin' plain simple sables

"I'm mournin' for you,my son,you're ways have to end

my prayers were long and my tears are all spent"

She was not mean to me

she was not unkind to me

she was only pointin' out the facts

"Your mind's eye in Eden and your hands in the gutter

you quote from one Book and you live by another

I saw you standin' there while brave Stephen got stoned

you painted a smile,but you felt quite alone"

She was not mean to me

she was not unkind to me

she was only pointin' out the facts

And scan my soul,scan my soul

and when you do it

scan my soul,scan my soul

do it good
