Mary & Me Lyrics

(Verse)
I know a man, he lives down by the river side
Ain't got no money, Lord, he's making it on his own.
He wakes up around noon time, he goes to bed around three
Sits around there all day long with a guitar on his knee.

(Chorus)
He said I'm suffering from the way it was and blocked down memories
Long time came before mind to mind now I can't breathe.
When the lights go down at the river side, Mary is all I see.

(Verse)
It came outside in the weeds, smokes a little reefer under a whipping willow tree
To a picture collected land from a pocket of new jeans.
Staring at the summer of '63 before this river town started looking so damn mean
Like his late wife who brought him down to his knees.

(Chorus)
He said I'm suffering from the way it was and blocked down memories
Long time came before mind to mind now I can't breathe.
When the lights go down at the river side, Mary is all I see.

(Bridge)
It started skipping stones and wishing all the water
It blows this I smoke it last time.
He held her hand and then he saw the light.

(Verse)
Shout shoots on the streets
For just enough scratch to form a number he still keeps
He gave up on letting go cause the last words comfort me.
No more suffering from the way it was and blocked down memories
Yeah, I slipped into the shadows, no more begging please.
Hard time came before miles and miles and I can't breathe
When the lights went down at the river side, now it's just Mary and me.
