MARK KNOPFLER
We only knew each other by a letter When I met her off of the train When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still She was standin’ there speakin my name I Guarantee she looked like an angel I couldn’t think of what I should say But When Adam saw Eve in the Garden I believe he felt the self same way I handed her up on the wagon And I loaded up her trunk behind She was sittin’ up there with the gold in her hair I tried to get a hold of my mind Chorus: Do you think you could love me, Mary? You think we got a chance of a life? Do you think that you could love me Mary? Now you are to be my wife Finally headed out of the station We drove up my home trail And when we came to the farm She laid a hand on my arm I thought my resolution would fail Now I froze as she stepped in the doorway Stood there still as can be Said I know it ain’t much it needs a woman’s touch She turned around and looked at me Chorus We had a prairie wedding There was a preacher and a neighbor or two I gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring Then the both of us said I do When the sun’s goin’ down on the prairie And the gold in her hair is aflame I say do you really love me Mary I hold her and I whisper her name Chorus Thanks to Danielle Lazarus from PCM for these lyrics
