4/9/03 Sweet Mary Jane said she knew half of me She’d count her fingers Going one to ninety-three And she’d look up in the sky And watch the rain fall down No one else would come around She knew that no one else would come around. She scattered daylight when the air was cold And listened as the sun arose, Bright, Beautiful, Bold. Never knew of pain or tragedy, But she swore by the moon She could see through me, Could see through me... CHORUS: As the sun came out again, Sun came out again, The sun came out again And Mary Jane She’d chase the rain Away Johnny knew just how the world once worked He fell in love when everything was at its worst But he praised me every time he saw The numbers fall And he knew not to speak at all Not breathe a word in that southern drawl And he waited... Chorus Ate his breakfast once at two AM Pulled a sweater on him Lent By A friend. Why did he see movement in the morning dark? And when would his turn come to make his mark? He watched the window... Chorus She knew the answer And he knew it was there And they watched a many sunset ‘Till the stars were everywhere And they both wondered How long was this road? Could they go farther? And where would they go? Chorus
