On the East Coast she's living Like a Queen by a throne And when I drive there I drive to all the places she goes The boys on the island The men at the docks Say, "give her my pleas If she comes back to me She'll get whatever she wants" She was my dear Mary But I lost her in May She told me it hurt her To know the words she'd have to say Like the world is so funny And our love, it ain't real You have the pa**ion in your head But it's not in this bed It's just a way we can't feel Oh, but I can't stop thinking No nothing ever slows down If I didn't love her Then why is she always around?
When I get up in the morning To when the lights go out She's there in my head I'm alone in my bed She's off on the town When I got home this evening There was a note on my door It read "you poor soul You better not think of me anymore I know you've been tracking My each and every move But baby, we're done There's no dance, no song I'm just someone you knew" Oh, please help me dear doctor Tell me what it is I can do I want to live healthy Is there something that I can use? This happened before And she was my nurse She asked me my name She helped with my pain But now it is worse
