I looked at Mary, a thousand times today
Nothing left to give her
No one left to pay
She lay there so calmly
More still than the night
When she first held me
And gave me back my sight
(But turned her eyes)
Don't you wonder sometimes
Where everyone is going to
I woke up one morning
And found I had a life
Caught up in the madness you're going through
As the families file by
Friends offer up their sad eyes
Those clouds you watch are growing older
There's a wedding just outside
But my Mary's gone
My Mary's gone
