I always planned that I'd come back to Mary
|
I'm in her yard but Mary didn't wait
|
Now I'm watching through the roses I can see them
|
I'm one husband two children three years late
|
|
One two three I'm late hope she don't see me
|
I beg these roses cover up my place
|
One two three I'm late hope now she don't need me
|
I'm one husband two children three years late
|
[ steel ]
|
I cut across the neighbor's yard to get here
|
I played too deep and tough for Mary's sake
|
I could not have been the one to plant these roses
|
I'm one husband two children three years late
|
|
One two three I'm late...
|
I'm one husband two children three years late
