Gypsy Kyss Mary's Mountain
Near the town where I had grown up There was a place that I would climb to With greener pastures and truer flowers Fantastic daydreams I called Mary (Mary gave me free passage) Now I'm 100 miles off the mainland Many miles of Keller's Point 100 miles out in the darkness So far out can't get my feet on the ground On a ship they call verity Oh, the peace in anonymity The curse of vocal obesity And the supply of mental fatalities Please take me back to Mary's Mountain I must go back to Mary's Mountain Leave me at the landing Pour me on the shore I'll swim in the new air of my childhood memories that are reborn Memories, be now true Spitting, turning, swirling ocean Cursing Scylla and Charybdis Fire! Fire! Serpent slayer Neptune offer me free passage Captain! Captain! The ship is oozing Cracking, squirming in the water Fire! Fire! Serpent slayer Neptune offer me free passage "Oh captain my captain! Our fearfull trip is done The ship has weathered every rack The prize we sought is won."
