lyrics

Drifting to sleep as you wait by the door
You give him a ring, but he doesn’t call back anymore
Escape to your dreams where he’s out with his friends
They’re out on the town but that’s not where these stories all end
Let's pretend

Mary Mary, Quite Contrary

To what he wants you to believe
He doesn’t want you there to see
What he does while you dream
What he does while you dream

And with his maids in a row
He doesn’t want to let you go
But know that I am here
To be your eyes and your ears
Be your eyes and your...

Eyelids are drooping, it’s 4 in the morning
Time and again, oh and with no forewarning
He goes, oh he goes
With silver bells and cockle shells
And so his garden grows, oh it grows
