Tell Mary, it really doesn't matter
These things happen in life all the time
Tell her that, one day we'll both be laughing
I'm sure it's nothing, how could it be something
When I can't even hold her in my arms
Tell Mary, sometimes when it's raining
Those are days when I'm at my best
I let the water wash away my feelings
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something
When I can't even hold her against my breast
No Mary, life is not simple
Once it was in your arms
We shared the day and
Nighttime would find us where
No one or nothing could do us harm
Tell Mary, sometimes life is dreaming
Till you wake up and find you're not there
All your thoughts offer no protection
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something
When I can't see the wind blowing through her hair
No Mary, life is not simple
Once it was in your arms
We shared the day and
Nighttime would find us where
No one or nothing could do us harm
Tell Mary, I'm tired, but I'm happy
I've been down, but not this time
All my dreams are easily forgotten
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something
When I can't even see her
I'm sure they're nothing, how could they be something
When I can't even see her when I open my eyes
Tell Mary, it really doesn't matter
