Lyrics

Heard they seen you yesterday in Charlestown
I heard about that story goin’ ‘round ‘round
All I got’s a book of love with pages worn clean through
Circle of gold and one bleeding tattoo
Mary Mary where have you gone to?

This town’s a secret shared and shattered in a sad song
Just torn and tattered pieces of a love gone wrong
Hearts of stone and eyes gone deep blue
Lonely houses filled two by two
Mary Mary where have you run to?

Summer storm blew in soft and cool
Onto slinky town streets where love ruled
There’s just a misty sidewalk with the rain driftin’ through
A lipstick case and one lonely red shoe
Mary Mary where have you run to?
Mary Mary where have you run to?
Mary Mary where have you run to?

I heard they seen you yesterday in Charlestown
