Crying Mary

歌詞

I knew Mary when she was a baby One little girl and one big little man Five years younger, she cried like the thunder I watched her reach ten and never saw her again From one boys home to one prison cell Mary I've known this world's bitter hell But come this winter I'll see my parole And watch the heads turn, down the aisle we stroll Are you still Crying Mary, the girl I knew before Your mama used to come here, she don't come no more But she left a picture of you at seventeen And every day since then, Mary you have been my dream For years I've waited, alone in the dark Thinking of you through a young boy's heart Over and over, the price that I've paid Was watching you cry as they drove me away Are you still Crying Mary, the girl I knew before So many times I've wondered, behind these doors Will we be together, the way it used to be Now that you are older, Mary do you think of me Are you still Crying Mary, the girl I knew before Your mama used to come here, she don't come no more Just this worn out picture that carries everything But there's no way of knowing, Mary do you think of me Do you think of me Mary
