Harry Chapin - If My Mary Were Here lyrics

[Harry Chapin - If My Mary Were Here lyrics]

I would not be so stoned if my Mary were here
And I don't think I'd have phoned
You if my Mary were here
I'm a sad sack Sir Galahad
Whose sword's around his knees
With a grail no longer holy and
A prayer that's sayin' please
I would not be alone if my Mary were here
But she took off, and Lord, I'm lost

You know, i don't think I'd be drinking
If my Mary were here
And I know what I'd be thinking
If my Mary were here
We'd be wrapping up a blanket full
Of cheddar cheese and wine
And packing up our camper with
A rendezvous in mind
And we'd picnic out in Lincoln
Park if Mary were here
But she split, so I got lit



I'm sorry that I called you in
The middle of the night
But you're the one who listens when
I need a little light
I know we haven't talked since I
Dropped you in the dirt
I know you're not my lady now, but baby
How I hurt

I would toss away my troubles
When my Mary was here
But I'm lost inside the rubble
'cause my Mary's not here
So could I come on over with
My heart in my hands
And place it on your pillow like
A rusty old tin can?
I'm drunk and seein' double but
My Mary's not here once again
Be the friend that you've been and take me in
Please take me in
