Mary, oh mary how many times i call

No, i don't want anything

But to know you're there that's all

You're an angel sent by accident

To ease my worried mind

And i don't show you half enough

But i love you all the time

Mary, oh mary where does the time go?

First i hated being young

Now i'm scared of being old

So i decided to stop wearing a watch

So i don't hear time pass

I did it half an hour ago

So we'll see how long i last

Mary, oh mary i'm feeling fairly bad

Problems running through my head

Like a broken phonograph

Won't you pack my things, give the doc a ring

Let him make me a bed

Let the man come round

Who ties me down

And hooks wires to my head

I was born one rainy morn

So not much changed for me

Just a bigger bed and a feeling that

I'd gotten in too deep

Mary, oh mary keep my picture hung

I played death for cigarettes

And got the cancer in my lungs

Tell every one of my grandsons

Exactly what i did

Spent my whole life waiting for this time

That i hardly lived
