Let the world be still tonight   Let the fire be the only light   Draw the curtain, pull down the shade   In easy arms, we'll lay      So come on lady, now close your eyes   Let the madness pass on by   Loosen up your golden hair   Stroke away my every care      There's no comfort in strangers   That I can't find right here      Layin' down in the arms of Sister Mary   Will her lovin' ever last?   Layin' down in the arms of Mother Mary   Let the world drift past      For a moment, a perfect love   Pure and silent, like a star above   Never mind 'bout tomorrow's fears   Peace of mind is here      Outside's a world of strangeness   So I will stay right here      Layin' down in the arms of Sister Mary   Will her lovin' ever last?   Layin' down in the arms of Mother Mary   Nothin' more to ask      Let her lovin' come to you   Let her lovin' come to you   Oh, her love will come to you   And bring you home, yeah      Alright, alright      Outside's a world of strangers   So I will stay right here      Layin' down in the arms of Sister Mary   Will her lovin' ever last?   Layin' down in the arms of Mother Mary   Nothin' more to ask      Layin' down in the arms of Sister Mary   Will her lovin' ever last?   Layin' down in the arms of Mother Mary   Let the world drift past   Let the world drift past
