Songtexte Mary - Jason Boland

When those thoughts won't come
I know that the shakes will
I've got no gun to my weary head
Hell, I couldn't even hold the barrel still
Everybody loves a catch-22
Damned if you don't, son, damned if you do
Outside it's another day
I've got to make it through
I know I said it'd be alright
Well, it's just gonna take a little while
I've tried to wait with the patience of Job
Like bustin' out of prison using a broken file
To each his own and so on
I think each of us, we might own the wrong one
There might have been some cause to cry
I was just trying to have some fun

Yeah, Mary, save me 'cause I'm sinking
Oh, won't you please throw me a line
Mary, save me 'cause I'm sinking
Mary, I'm running out of time

They say hope springs eternal, yeah
I say eternity springs up hope
And it can overload my feeble mind
It's gonna go looking for some ways to cope
So I found the bottle or it found me
Tried to turn my future into history
Anybody here, can anybody see

Yeah, Mary, save me 'cause I'm sinking
Oh, won't you please throw me a line
Yeah, Mary, save me 'cause I'm sinking
Mary, I'm running out of time
Yeah, Mary, save me 'cause I'm sinking
Oh, won't you please throw me a line
Oh, Mary, save me 'cause I'm sinking
Mary, I'm running out of time
