Oh, Mary, Mary like to dream all day When cold hard eyes would pull her Down to the ground, oh, yeah Oh, she said, "Why, oh, why has the world such pain When you and I could take some time and float away" Oh, but the days got hard as time slipped by And it just didn't seem fair How she'd treat me during those times, oh, yeah Oh, there's no reason, yeah Mary, don't you understand, yeah I said, oh, there's no reason, yeah Mary, don't you understand? Oh, and in her eyes shined a far off light When she looked back on days When everything was alright Oh, she said, "Life's a stream of broken dreams And I'd hate someday to think what might have been" Oh, but she when she came down, there was a darker side
And how did it all seem fair It was too late, it's a long, long winter, oh, yeah Oh, there's no reason, yeah Baby, don't you understand, yeah I said, oh, there's no reason, yeah Baby, don't you understand, yeah Come on, I said Oh, there's no reason, yeah Mary, Mary, don't you understand, yeah Come on, I said Whoa, there's no reason, yeah Mary, don't you understand? Baby, don't you understand? Alright Mary, don't you understand? Alright Mary, don't you understand? Feels good now, yeah Mary, don't you understand? Alright Mary, don't you understand?
