Mary-Jaine says its alright, she's just around the corner from the main line
Any day now, its alright. She's standing on the precipice of big time
And I know I'm a little up tight. I got to go before the sun shine
We're just a couple small people squeezing out a life. We need a little good time
Its not far from here. Mary comes and goes. Drifting through the
scenery of shallow days below. And then as everybody knows you follow
trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon Yeah well I saw
Mary-Jaine drag her shadow down the tracks, stair of into the distance.
Its not far from here. Mary waves hello. Smiling though she's
sinking in the shallow days below
I can't find the way out of here, out on the road again
I'm much much too concerned about Mary-Jaine. I'm all alone again and
I like what she said, but not what it means. She leaves me drowning through the
shallow days, down below
I know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall, the sun is sinking lower
People stair at Mary-Jaine humming softly to herself. Ain't nobody really knows her
And any day now its alright. She tells herself that this will be the last time
And Mary-Jaine pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all the free time
Not too far from here. Mary turns to go. Smiling while the
waltz begins to dancin down the road, hey, hey
Hey hey Mr. Freedom, what are we supposed to think?
Cause I'm a very tiny person, and it worries me, out all alone again and
I like what she said but not what it means, she leaves me drowning in the
shallow days way down below
Hey, yeah yeah yeah ooooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm sorry. She said "I know, its not the kind of thing you want. I'm falling, falling
down" I'm sorry. She said "I know, I'm not the kind of girl you want We're
falling, ooooooh
Falling, oooooooooh
Falling, falling down
