Mary

Oh Mary where you going? Are you leaving for a day? I know that you're going someplace Just where I 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 upon that throne A captive to memories you don't own But you play them back time and 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 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 that when you are at the end You're closest then to where you once began
