Pretty Mary K walks along the docks
|
With some sailor's pay shoved down in her sock
|
Pretty Mary K with some little boy in blue
|
Who can't stay away from you
|
|
Pretty Mary K, take him back to town
|
I'm down here by the bay where the water pounds
|
Up against the wall, crying black and blue
|
Keeps me away from you
|
|
Pretty words that you whisper, maybe I misunderstood
|
Somebody's not paying attention
|
What they promised and their word isn't good
|
|
Oh, Mary K, I can see her face
|
Down there in the waves, painted and erased
|
But I know it's just the reflection of the moon
|
A big fake resembling you
|
|
Gonna go down in the water, fill my mouth up full of sand
|
I'll be waiting, still impatient
|
With my dead imagination while you're with some other man
|
|
Pretty Mary K is off in somebody's room
|
I'm down here by the bay with my arm around the moon
|
But I'll be with you soon, just as soon as I pay
|
I walk across the water with pretty Mary k
|
Walk on water, pretty Mary K
|
