Margaret Prays (Lyric) by wilco
Margaret sees the world through hazy eyes
She keeps her heart wrapped up in a brown paper bag
And she takes it with her everywhere she goes
She never mentions how it shattered like glass
When he turned and never said goodbye
Margaret sits alone and dries her eyes
She keeps her things packed up in a brown suitcase
just in case she ever has to run again
She never mentions how it's full of dreams
But she lost the key some time ago
Chorus:
Margaret prays for everyone she meets
As she falls down on her knees
Margret prays for everyone
But she never seems to find the time for herself
Margaret knows she never had a chance
They kept her locked away in a cold, dark room
Where she could only sing to pass the time
She never mentions how she screamed his name
as she prayed for him to save her soul
Margaret gets a glass and pours a drink
She goes to sit back down but it's already gone
So she stares at these lonely walls again
She never mentions how it's the only thing
That she has ever found to fill the hole
Chorus X2
Margaret prays for me sometimes
and sometimes I pray for Margaret too
