Danny is lonely 'cos
Mary's in India now
She said she'd call but that was three weeks ago
She left all her things
Well, her books and her letters from him
As the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him
(chorus)
And just dance, and just drink
And just see the things
I'll probably never get the chance to see
Danny's not eating, he's drinking and sleeping in
I saw him last night at a party, he's definitely thin
He says he's happy, he looked pretty good
But I think
That as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him
(chorus)
Danny came over last night and I cooked for him
We talked about you, Mary, and how much we loved you
still
He told me he's packed up your books and your letters
and things
But as the sun sets on Mary, it's rising on him
And we danced, and we drank
Don't worry, Mary
Cause I'm taking care of Danny
And he's taking care of me
