Mary Ann lyrics - Christopher Cross

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

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

Was gone from the cruise, sitting right with them

Just me, my guitar, and the morning sun

I've been living the sweet life with my lovers and friends

But the hardest to leave was my Mary Ann

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

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

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

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
