Mary, oh mary how many times i call
No, i don't want anything
But to know you're there that's all
You're an angel sent by accident
To ease my worried mind
And i don't show you half enough
But i love you all the time
Mary, oh mary where does the time go?
First i hated being young
Now i'm scared of being old
So i decided to stop wearing a watch
So i don't hear time pass
I did it half an hour ago
So we'll see how long i last
Mary, oh mary i'm feeling fairly bad
Problems running through my head
Like a broken phonograph
Won't you pack my things, give the doc a ring
Let him make me a bed
Let the man come round
Who ties me down
And hooks wires to my head
I was born one rainy morn
So not much changed for me
Just a bigger bed and a feeling that
I'd gotten in too deep
Mary, oh mary keep my picture hung
I played death for cigarettes
And got the cancer in my lungs
Tell every one of my grandsons
Exactly what i did
Spent my whole life waiting for this time
That i hardly lived
