| MARY'S PLACE | 6:03 | RISING / ESSENTIAL: 2003 |
Note: It remains unclear if this composition was written before or after 9/11. Recorded at Southern Tracks, Atlanta, during February–March, 2002. The lyrics of the chorus allude directly to Sam Cooke's 1964 song "Meet Me At Mary's Place".
Studio Sessions: The Rising
Mary's Place |
I got seven pictures of Buddha, the prophet's on my tongue
Eleven angels of mercy sighing over that black hole in the sun
My heart's dark but it's rising, I'm pulling all the faith I can see
From that black hole on the horizon I hear your voice calling me
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Tell me how do we get this thing started
Meet me at Mary's place, (meet me at Mary's place)
Familiar faces around me, laughter fills the air
Your loving grace surrounds me, everybody's here
Furniture's out on the front porch, music's up loud
I dream of you in my arms and I lose myself in the crowd
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Tell me how do you live brokenhearted
Meet me at Mary's place, (meet me at Mary's place)
I got a picture of you in my locket, I keep it close to my heart
It's a light shining in my breast, leading me through the dark
Seven days, seven candles in my window lighting your way
Your favorite record's on the turntable, I drop the needle and pray (turn it up)
Band's counting out midnight (turn it up), floor's rumbling loud (turn it up)
Singer's calling up daylight (turn it up), waiting for that shout from the crowd (turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Tell me how do we get this thing started
Meet me at Mary's place, (meet me at Mary's place)
Come on and meet me at Mary's place, (meet me at Mary's place), ohhh
Do-do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do-do-do (meet me at Mary's place)
Do-do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do-do-do (meet me at Mary's place)
Yeah!
Woo hoo hoo hoo
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place
Yeah! Woo hoo hoo hoo (meet me at Mary's place)
Yeah come and meet me, (meet me at Mary's place)
Yeahhh let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
