Paul McCartney - Movement VI. Tempo I Lyrics

a few years later.
as shanty muses on the top of a bus, mary dee is drawn to him. she soothes his self-doubts and calms his impatient ambitions and they pledge their love and marry.

shanty i know i should be glad of this
for to be thankful is to know.
i hope that you will still be here,
the time is drawing near for us to know.

mary dee
(no longer as a ghost) i'll always be here
as long as you've got time for me.
whether it's joy or sadness,
it doesn't matter -
as long as you have time for me,
we will be together.

shanty i know that to be thankful is
not what i need,
but just for right now it's all i've got.
i know that patience is a virtue,
but at this time in my life i need something more.
something in the air is slowly drawing us together.

mary dee sit tight, be brave, and believe in something more.
shanty if i could sit still, if i could be courageous.
i have a feeling that there's something
drawing us inevitably towards it.

mary dee if you have patience, you needn't wait forever.
this is the story that they tell the children
who are always asking the question.

shanty i know someone is making sense.
mary dee we have a common sense.
(ah -)

shanty and (ah -)
boys father, hear our humble voices,
we will praise thee all our days.
cleanse our sins, release our minds,
we will be together.

preacher and
women's lord, deliver thy salvation
unto those that bless thy name.

full let them live in harmony.
solo quartet with thy holy spirit.
hosanna, hosanna.
gloria in excelsis deo

mary dee and shanty god in heaven, save thy thunder
for the enemies of love.
bathe us in thy holy light.
we will live together.

amen.
