Mary Ellen Makes The Moment Count
Mary cries out: "For the love of God!"As she's walking out of the laundromatDown the street and it's the short way homeFeeling special cause she's so alone
We know:"The world's full of lonely people"And it shows:"The world's full of lonely people"
She shrugs her coat off and unlocks the doorEats her dinner on the kitchen floorWrites a poem and turns the radio onEvery singer sings the same old song
It goes:"The world's full of lonely people"And it shows:"The world's full of lonely people"
But when she wanted me to goShe just had to let it showTo bring me downIf she wanted me to leaveShe just wore it on her sleeveBut at least, I was around
(Instrumental)
But when she wanted me to goShe just had to let it showTo bring me downIf she wanted me to leaveShe just wore it on her sleeveAt least, I was around
Mary Ellen makes the moment countAs she's looking through old photographsPictures taken from an early ageFaces look back at her from the pageThey say:
"The world's full of lonely people"It's okay"The world's full of lonely people"It's okay"The world's full of lonely people"
But when she wanted me to goShe just had to let it showTo bring me downIf she wanted me to leaveShe just wore it on her sleeveBut at least, I was aroundI was aroundI was aroundI was around
Mary Ellen makes the moment count
