Mary

Oh Mary, where you going, are you leaving for a day

I know that you're going some place

Just whereI couldn't say

Are you wishing your last penny to the bottom of a well

Is there something you believe in

If there is I couldn't tell

I'm standing on a corner, I'm standing on a line

That Mary she's just staying on my mind

See you on the TV, I can see you on the phone

I can see you high on that throne

A captive to memories you don't own

But you play them back from time to time again when you're alone

It's not a pleasant thing but I know it's how it goes

So Mary, where you going, oh how could I pretend

That nothing ever changes

That was now and this is is then

Yeah, I think you're becoming an even brighter star

Oh won't you keep on shining no matter where you are

But so many things will try to drag you down

They will turn your song into an empty sound

See the judge commission just based upon a whim

To some it's law, to others it's a sin

To many more it's a tangled mess we're in

But I think it's true when you are at the end

You're closest then to where you once began
