Mary Lyrics

I wish today was my birthday

I wish it was my birthday today, oh Mary

I'd wish that you were home

I'd wish that you were home

Why you gotta be so far away?

Oh Mary, so far away

M-M-M-Mary, so far away

I'd send the kids to your mama's today, oh Mary

I told her it was my birthday today

I called you on the phone

But you can't talk, I shoulda known

So why'd you choose my birthday to go away?

Oh Mary, so far away

M-M-M-Mary, so far away

You sent a photograph from foreign lands

Of you draped across a baby grand

Oh this image sparks a jealousy

I couldn't stand were you not next to me

I'm tearing down the front door

I'm freezing time, I'm bridging the shores

No I don't want it be my birthday anymore!

So what if you miss me?

Don't it mean that you love me?

Don't it mean I'm your baby?

Don't it mean it's my birthday, Oh Mary?

Happy birthday, Mary
