Christopher Cross — Mary Ann

[Verse 1] Well the candle is out and the dreams were young Tonight has been kind of a lonely one My heart out of time making up my mind But I know in the morning the sun will shine [Chorus] Say goodbye to Mary Ann Tell her I've gone to the promised land To make my way in the world as a music man [Verse 2] Was gone from the cruise, sitting right with them Just me, my guitar, and the morning sun I'll be leaving the sweet life with my lovers and friends But the hardest to leave is my Mary Ann [Chorus] Say goodbye to Mary Ann Tell her I've gone to the promised land To make my way in the world as a music man Say goodbye to Mary Ann Tell her I've gone to the promised land I'm sure that she will understand [Bridge] Well, you know what they say, they say don't look back But it's all so hard as I sit by the tracks To the east is my home sweet home And to the west is where I long to roam It's so hard [Verse 3] Well the candle is out and the dreams were young Tonight has been kind of a lonely one My heart out of time making up my mind But I know in the morning the sun will shine [Outro] Say goodbye to Mary Ann Tell her I've gone to the promised land To make my way in the world as a music man Say goodbye to Mary Ann Tell her I've gone to the promised land I'm sure that she will understand Say goodbye to Mary Ann Tell her I've gone to the promised land To make my way in the world as a music man
