Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
But every step it followed close
Where Mary dared to go

[Verse 2]
I wasn’t just a pet or toy
I watched her dreams decay
I saw the cracks behind her smile
I stayed, but lost my way

[Verse 3]
They said it was a tale of love
Of innocence and grace
But shadows grew beneath her feet
And I became her trace

[Verse 4]
Now every child who sings this rhyme
Will feel the chill beneath
For Mary’s lamb was not just wool
It wore a crown of grief

[Chorus]
Fleece of ash, eyes of flame
Mary walked, but bore no name
Fleece of ash, tale gone cold
She lost the lamb, she lost her hold

[Chorus Repeat]
Fleece of ash, the rhyme still bleeds
A song of want, a song of needs
Fleece of ash, the snow turned red
And Mary wept for what she fed

[Bridge]
She wasn’t just a girl in white
She held the dark, she held the light
And when the lamb began to fade
She learned what love and loss had made
