If My Mary Were Here Lyrics – Harry Chapin
Singer: Harry Chapin
Title: If My Mary Were Here
God, it’s amazing how there’ve been certain key moments in my life when i’ve been a real s.o.b. and it doesn’t turn out well, and then i go back and ask somebody to have pity on me, you know? it’s amazing. here we go. one.
I would not be so stoned if my mary were here
I don’t think i’d have phoned you if my mary were here
But i’m standin’ here in tatters like some ragpicker’s dream
Tumblin’ down the rapids of a swollen flood-tide stream
And i would not be alone if my mary were here
But she took off, and lord, i’m lost
I don’t think i’d be drinking if my mary were here
And i know what i’d be thinking if my mary were here
We’d be wrapping up our blankets full of cheddar cheese and wine
Packing up our camper with a rendezvous in mind
And we’d picnic out in lincoln park if mary were here
But she split, so i got lit
I’m so sorry that i called you, babe, in the middle of the night
But you’re the one who listens when i need a little light
I know we haven’t talked since i dropped you in the dirt
I know you’re not my lady now, but baby, how i hurt
I would toss away my troubles when my mary was here
But i’m lost inside the rubble ’cause my mary’s not here
I’m a sad sack sir galahad whose sword’s around his knees
With a grail no longer holy and a prayer that’s sayin’ please
I’m drunk and seein’ double ’cause my mary’s not here
Are you there? could you still care?
You know i could have whistled up an old tune, babe
That your memory just might recall
And i could rustle up some reminisce
’bout the good old days and all
If i were seeking someone else
You know i could find some way to hide
But i’m just pleading like a pauper, babe
And it leaves no place for pride
It’s too quiet in this house, mary’s not here
I’m a young old sodden souse ’cause my mary’s not here
But could i come on over with my heart in my hands
And place it on your pillow, babe, like a rusty old tin can?
I know i’m just a louse, but my mary’s not here
Once again, be the friend that you’ve been and take me
Take me in
Please take me in
