In waking they hang
They shade all they see
I'll anticipate the end of the story
'Cause all I really need is just a safe and secure place
To pack and put the past where it won't be in the way
Free enough to leave, stuck enough to stay

Be my, be my, be my one and only
Mary, Mary, Mary Lee where're you going?
Mary, Mary, Mary Lee where're you going?

This is just a ditch that's caving in.
So cold it burns
There's no reflection in the water
I feel so good it hurts
I need her too much to want her
'Cause all I really need is just a safe and secure place
To pack and put the past where it won't be in the way
Free enough to leave, stuck enough to stay

Be my, be my, be my one and only
Mary, Mary, Mary Lee where're you going?
Mary, Mary, Mary Lee where're you going?

You put that rope around your neck
Stood on that stool in one last attempt
And they found you there in your favorite dress
A dull pencil set next to the note you left that read
Said, it said

So long, everyone, love is a setting sun
So long, everyone, love is a setting sun
So long, everyone, love is a setting sun
So long, so long, so long,
So long, everyone, love is a setting sun
So long, everyone, love is a setting sun
