MARY AND DIEGO (Paul O’Brien)
Mary and Diego
Step in from the cold
Diego a boy
Mary she’s old
She straightens his collar
Runs a hand through his hair
To show some respect
To show that we care
They walk down the aisle
He looks at the altar
She looks down and smiles
Only a minute
We’ll just say goodbye
They move towards the coffin
And old woman and boy
Make a sign of the cross
For the soul of a stranger
For the soul of the lost
A kiss on the cheek
Then whisper goodbye
And the walk from the coffin
An old woman and boy
A kiss from a stranger
You never can tell
A kiss and a whisper
To wish a soul well
Step into the cold
