I was sitting with Mary
|
In my dad's blue Valiant
|
Rain was coming down
|
And the radio was playing
|
Mary was talking
|
A million miles a minute
|
I could not hear one word she was saying
|
|
Cause I was lost
|
I was gone
|
Listening to Levon
|
In another world
|
In another place
|
I was was lost
|
I was gone
|
Listening to Levon
|
I was looking at Mary's eyes
|
but I was listening to Levon
|
|
Mary's hair was black
|
That much I remember
|
Mary's was skin was smooth
|
I remember that too
|
And she opened her eyes
|
Sometimes when she kissed me
|
I don't know why she did that
|
Maybe Mary knew
|
|
I was lost
|
I was gone
|
Listening to Levon
|
In another place
|
In some other world
|
I was was lost
|
|
I was gone
|
Listening to Levon
|
I was looking at the girl
|
But I was listening to Levon
|
|
I changed her name
|
To protect the innocent
|
I might have even lied
|
About the car
|
this is just to say
|
Sorry if I hurt you
|
Mary if you're out there
|
You know who you are
|
|
I'm sorry Mary
|
|
It serves me right if
|
You can't even hear me singing
|
If you tuned me out a long time ago
|
And it served me right
|
If you already changed the station
|
And you're listening right now to that old boy on the radio
|
|
And you're lost
|
And you're gone
|
Listening to Levon
|
In another world
|
From some other place
|
Are you lost?
|
Are you gone?
|
Listening to Levon
|
Is there a smile your face
|
while you're listening to Levon?
|
