Lyrics
The lights shine down the valley
The lights illuminate the valley.
The wind blows up the alley
The wind is blowing up the alley.
Oh how I wish I were lying in the
Expressing a desire to be in a specific place or state.
Arms of Mary
Yearning to be in the comforting embrace of Mary.
She took the pains of boyhood
Mary transformed the difficulties of boyhood into positive experiences.
And turned them into feel good
She turned challenges into something enjoyable.
Oh how I wish I were lying in the
Expressing a longing to be in Mary's arms.
Arms of Mary
Yearning for the comfort and security found in Mary's embrace.
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had
Mary played a significant role in the speaker's life, teaching important lessons.
To know, she put me right on my first mistake
Mary corrected the speaker's initial mistake and guided him.
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had
Despite the passage of time, the impact of Mary's teachings remains.
To show, she really gave all a boy could take
Mary gave the speaker everything a boy could learn or experience.
So now when I feel lonely
When feeling alone, searching for a soulmate.
Still looking for the one and only
Continuing the search for a perfect match.
That's when I wish I were lying in the
Expressing a desire to be in Mary's comforting arms during loneliness.
Arms of Mary
Reiterating the wish to be in the embrace of Mary.
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had
Repeating Mary's role as a crucial teacher in the speaker's life.
To know, she put me right on my first mistake
Mary guided the speaker, correcting his initial mistakes.
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had to show
Reflecting on the enduring impact of Mary's teachings.
She really gave all a boy could take
Mary provided the speaker with all he needed to learn.
The lights shine down the valley
Repetition of the scene set in the beginning, creating a sense of continuity.
The wind blows up the alley
Reiteration of the wind blowing, adding to the atmospheric description.
Oh how I wish I were lying in the
Expressing a persistent desire to be in Mary's arms.
Arms of Mary
Reiterating the yearning to be embraced by Mary.
