paroles de chanson If My Mary Were Here Intro (Live) - Live - Harry Chapin

I would not be so stoned
If my Mary were here
I don′t think I'd have phoned you
If my Mary were here
I′m a sad sack Sir Galahad
Who's sword's around his knees
With a Grail no longer holy
And a prayer that′s saying - please
I would not be alone
If my Mary were here
But she took off
And Lord I′m lost.
I don't think I′d be drinking
If my Mary were here
And I know what I'd be thinking
If my Mary were here
We′d be wrapping up a blanket
Full of cheddar cheese and wine
Packing up our camper with a rendezvous in mind
And we'd picnic out in Lincoln Park
If Mary were here
But she split
So I got lit
I′m sorry that I called you
In the middle of the night
But you're the one who listens
When I need a little light
I know we haven't talked
Since I dropped you in the dirt
I know you′re not my lady now
But Baby, how I hurt.
(I could whistle up an old tune
That your memory might recall
Rustle up some reminisce
′Bout the good old days and all
If I were seeking someone else
I could find a way to hide
But I'm pleading like a pauper, Babe
And it leaves no place for pride)
I would toss away my troubles
When my Mary was here
But now I′m lost inside the ruble
Cause my Mary's not here
So could I come on over
With my heart in my hands
And place it on your pillow
Like a rusty old tin can
I′m drunk and seeing double
And my Mary's not here
Once again
Be the friend
That you′ve been
And take me in.
Please take me in.
