Analysis of Oh My Mary Anne
oh my mary anne
know that i'll be the man
to take you out of the sinking sands
of the pyramids, just imagine it
just take my hand now and we will be free
oh my mary anne
together we can stand
and stare off into the lands
on the mountains
as far as the eye can see
oh my mary anne
will you hold my hand
as we stare blissfully
into the starry skies
while you are lying next to me
oh my mary anne
we'll drink wine and we'll dance
in the moonlight romantically
i wanna be yours forever
oh baby, will you marry me
oh my mary anne
will you hold my hand
as we take the leap
over the cliffs of egypt
and into ecstasy
