Lyrics Noah and the Whale

Noah and the Whale

Mary

Oh the cold wet wind blew over the heather

You wrote Charlie and Mary for forever

On the back of a rock

That you picked up on the way

And in that perfect moment

I nearly ruined it

By saying I love you

And nearly meaning it

But you know I would never waste those words

Oh when I last saw Mary

She lied and said it was her birthday

Oh when i last saw mary

She lied and said it was her birthday

But then she

Tried to kiss me

And I said don't bother

You know we don't really love one another

And there's no use

In burning out this flame

Oh but then things changed in a way I couldn't predict

She said I love you and it suddenly clicked

That she was only saying what she wanted me to hear

And I said

Please don't lie to me Mary

And I said

Please don't lie to me Mary

I said

Please don't lie

Oh it makes me cry in bed

I said

Please don't lie

Oh it makes me cry in bed

I said

Please don't lie

Oh it makes me cry in bed

And she said

Shut your mouth

You don't know what you're talking about

Oh she said

Shut your mouth

You don't know what you're talking about
