Lyrics Victoria Williams

Victoria Williams

Grandma's Hat Pin

Mary Mary 83

Wiped the mess off my eyes with her apron strings

Portraits painted hastily

Don't tell nothin bout the heart

Repression in a saint's disguise

God only wise

You know you don't own anything you could sell

By itself I could say that forgiveness is there waiting

It's there waiting by the bridge

Mary it's waiting by the bridge

To wear Grandma's hat pin you don't necessarily

Have to agree with every thought she bore within

I have trekked to the rock looked up to the hill

See old man

Get rid of anchored sin

Is it hard to let someone pay

Oh you know

REPEAT CHORUS

You know you don't own anything you could sell

By itself I could say that forgiveness is there waiting

It's there waiting

Stretch your toes

Now the arms

Lets reach for the sky

Dilly dally too long wave bye bye

Beat around the corner and the bushes become your friends

I'm alright now

She was alright then

You know you don't own anything you could sell

By itself I could say forgiveness is there waiting

It's there waiting yes

Oh it's there waiting
