[Verse 1]
Mary Louise always so sensitive
Sixteen, naive, certainly set to live
So far from home, so out of place
Plenty of room at the castle of grace
Mary Louise, shy as a butterfly
Peaches and cream, life's gonna pass you by
Strawberry blonde, freckly face
Plenty of room at the castle of grace
[Chorus]
Looking up at the stars
Can you hear their sound?
With your arms full of flowers
And your crumpled crown
Won't you come down now, Mary Louise?
Won't you come down now, Mary Louise?
[Verse 2]
Mary Louise walks to the windowsill
Were you awake or were you sleeping still?
Fingers so fine, the wind in your face
Taking your time at the castle of grace
Mary Louise, white coat and dressing gown
Slips through my fingers, blown like a dandelion
Clock on the breeze, falling through space
Taking your time at the castle of grace
[Chorus]
Looking up at the stars
Can you hear their sound?
With your arms full of flowers
And your crumpled crown
Won't you come down now, Mary Louise?
Won't you come down now, Mary Louise?
Won't you come down now, Mary Louise?
[Bridge]
And please don't desert me
I got these questions on my mind
I know that you'll never hurt me
You're just a spirit trippin' up and falling over out of time
[Verse 3]
Mary Louise wanders the walls for me
Cartwheels the chapel, climbs up the apple tree
You're gonna have the run of the place
Plenty of room at the castle of grace
[Chorus]
Looking up at the stars
Can you hear their sound?
With your arms full of flowers
And your crumpled crown
Won't you come down now, Mary Louise?
Won't you come down now, Mary Louise?
Won't you come down now, Mary Louise?
Won't you come down now, Mary Louise?
