Yellow lights are free and gladly
Light the shadow grey behind me
Can you help her walk away again?

Blue, the color of the water
Mary and her devil-daughter
Drinking rubies in the rain again

Oh Mary, don't you die
Oh Mary, don't you die
'Cause of the color of her eyes

Green, the color of the grasses
Mary and her new blue lasses
Come a-riding in the fall with me

Grey, the shades of all nights past me
Red, the blood inside the old tree
Come a-riding in the fall with me

Oh Mary, don't you die
Oh Mary, don't you die
'Cause of the color of her eyes
