Marc Cohn — Listening to Levon

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] '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) [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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) [Chorus] 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?
