Lyrics

I was sitting with Mary

In my dad's blue Valiant

Rain was coming down

And the radio was playing

Mary was talking

A million miles a minute

I could not hear one word she was saying

'Cause I was lost

I was gone

Listening to Levon

In another world

Oh, in another place

I was lost

I was gone

Listening to Levon

I was looking in Mary's eyes

But I was listening to Levon (Oh yeah)

Mary's hair was black

That much I remember

Mary's skin was smooth

I remember that too

And she'd open her eyes

Sometimes when she kissed me

I don't know why she did that

Maybe Mary knew

That I was lost

I was gone

Listening to Levon

In another place

Oh, in some other world

Yeah, I was lost

I was gone

Listening to Levon

I was looking at the girl

But I was listening to Levon (Oh yeah, oh yeah)

I changed her name

To protect the innocent

I might have even lied

About the car

This is just to say

I'm sorry if I hurt you

But Mary if you're out there

'Cause you know who you are

I'm sorry Mary

Well it serves me right

If you can't even hear me singing

If you tuned me out a long time ago

And it serves me right

If you already changed the station

And you're listening right now

To that old boy on the radio (Radio)

And you're lost

And you're gone

Listening to Levon

In another world

From some other place

Are you lost?

Are you gone?

Listening to Levon

Is there a smile your face

While you're listening to Levon?
