Mary, oh Mary how many times I call
No, I don't want anything
But to know you're there that's all
You're an angel sent by accident
To ease my worried mind
And I don't show you half enough
But I love you all the time
Mary, oh Mary where does the time go?
First I hated being young
Now I'm scared of being old
So I decided to stop wearing a watch
So I don't hear time pass
I did it half an hour ago
So we'll see how long I last
Mary, oh Mary I'm feeling fairly bad
Problems running through my head
Like a broken phonograph
Won't you pack my things, give the Doc a ring
Let him make me a bed
Let the man come round Who ties me down
And hooks wires to my head
Bridge
I was born one rainy morn
So not much changed for me
Just a bigger bed and a feeling that
I'd gotten in too deep
Mary, oh Mary keep my picture hung
I played death for cigarettes
And got the cancer in my lungs
Tell every one of my grandsons
Exactly what I did
Spent my whole life waiting for this time
That I hardly lived
