Mary Ann & One Eyed Dan - Shovels & Rope[00:00:00]
Mary Ann was a waitress at the circus[00:00:16]
And Dan was a writer for the delaware locale observer[00:00:20]
Just 21 and just two months out of the service[00:00:25]
Missing half an eyelid so he had to wear a patch[00:00:28]
Mary Ann introduced herself to Dan[00:00:37]
She said do you like the menu[00:00:40]
Or do you need me to read it to you[00:00:42]
Half way angry half turned on and half confused[00:00:45]
He took her by the arm and went[00:00:49]
Out back to make a match[00:00:50]
And he said[00:00:52]
So long to my former life[00:00:53]
To a worried life so long[00:00:58]
So long to a harder life[00:01:02]
To a troubled life so long[00:01:06]
Lying there under the soft glow of the sunrise[00:01:13]
The moon was still awake and all the generators lowly humming[00:01:16]
She picked a flower and fastened it on to his bad eye[00:01:21]
She said come on let's get married[00:01:25]
I think we might get along[00:01:27]
And she said[00:01:29]
So long so long to my former life[00:01:30]
So long[00:01:33]
To a selfish life so long[00:01:34]
So long so long to a bitter life[00:01:38]
So long[00:01:42]
To a troubled life so long[00:01:43]
Well Dan he was no poet[00:02:07]
Couldn't dance he never slept[00:02:09]
He had nightmares every night[00:02:11]
Of rain and fire on those bloody beaches[00:02:13]
Just then the dew dropped[00:02:16]
From the flower and he wept[00:02:18]
Mary Ann you are a melody[00:02:20]
I think I wrote a song[00:02:22]
It goes like[00:02:24]
So long so long to my worried life[00:02:25]
So long[00:02:28]
To a lonesome life so long[00:02:29]
So long so long to a wandering life[00:02:34]
So long[00:02:37]
To a wounded life so long[00:02:38]
And we all said[00:02:41]
So long so long to those memories[00:02:42]
To everything we can't let go so long[00:02:46]
So long so long to our former selves[00:02:51]
So long[00:02:54]
To our selfish selves so long[00:02:55]
To our selfish selves so long[00:02:59]
To our selfish selves so long[00:03:04]
