Maybe if I just think out loud tonight
Then I'll know what to do
Five years all felt the same and then it changed
And I was loving you, better days for sure

Mary, our love still can bring violins
And roses to my mind
But I swear I haven't missed a moment of the life
I've left behind, it's just a fading sound

So be with me while decades turn us older
We've both much love that lasts a whole life through
We could live in Fife or out in Texas
Anywhere, as long as I'm with you

Last year it seemed the things we've worked for
Were all [bad word] to pass
One hit proclaimed that Mrs. Reid's boys
Would finally pay some tax, thank the Lord for that

Now I'll admit I wasn't too impressed love [bad word] the doubts I've had before
The only [bad word] worth it is in the music
The other stuff can't interest me at all

Mary, we've got to see America
I need to ride those trains
This year we're going to take a jet plane there
No matter what it takes for the music's sake
