Mary moved from east to west Wanting to be free And the only thing she left behind Was a money tree. Her father was a working man Living in the woods With the money he got from the state He did all he could. And when she was a little girl She whispered in his ears “Daddy, you make me forget all my fears” When she got to her new place Everything was wrong But there was a radio there And she turned it on In a silly flash of innocence She changed the station set Found a song she knew by heart And sang it three tones flat In the middle of her sleep She would open up her eyes And like a new born baby she would cry: “Won't you tell me what I need? I don't wanna find me bended knee again” Mary woke up and went for A walk in the street Not aware of someone that Was watching her feet He went to her and slowly said “Hi my name is john, I see that you are new in town, I won't let you alone” And as she walked and meet the place He was standing by her side And like a miracle she started to smile She started to work as a bartender In a coffee-shop She was known by her sweet face And that precious knot. She had never been so popular Since the high-school days When people used to call her “freak” In so many ways. But now she had someone to trust Someone to call her friend. But she just took a while to understand “Won't you tell me what I need? I don't wanna find me broken dream again” One day she began to feel A little mixed up So she turned to john and said “I've got news my love” So they held each-other’s hands And faced each-other’s eyes “There's somebody else to come” She said in thin disguise He started to cry of happiness And both of them agreed: She would have to ask a little more on tips Suddenly nine months were gone And a baby girl was born No one around held the tears Or even cried by force. As I'm sitting on this table At the coffee-shop I see stories come and go With the hailstorm. Now I'm waiting for this rain To stop and let me go So I can make my way through people's smoke. “Won't you tell me what I need? I don't wanna find myself unseen again”
