It beats me

from Songs Vienna by Mark Geary

/

lyrics

Did I watch you wash away your life
And polish up your forks and your knives
And left the kitchen crystal clear
Did you put me in my resting place
Beside the cups there was no place for fear

There's someone calling for me
Just see and you talk, don't listen to me
There's someone is calling for me
Just see and you talk, don't listen to me
We go through the hoops
Before you know it beats me

Did I watch you wash away your life
And polish up your forks and your knives
And I watch the crystal disappear
Did I try to run to your defence

And make some jokes at my expense
And watch you boil some water for the sake of it

There's someone calling for me
Just see and you talk, don't listen to me
There's someone calling for me
Just see and you talk, don't listen to me
Hail Mary, motherless grace
Hail Mary, motherless grace
Hail Mary, motherless grace
Hail Mary, motherless grace

Mark Geary Dublin, Ireland

Irish singer-songwriter Mark Geary's sound is stripped back. His lyrics cut to the core revealing a life laid bare of human frailty, failed relationships, tenderness, grief and hurt.

Current single Spectre is hauntingly beautiful with layers of guitars. Written from a place of forgiveness and understanding.

The Forest is exquisite. A beautiful sound, its quietness is evocative. ... more
