Lyrics
Where have you been, Mary Anne—
And why should I care?
There's nothing I miss, Mary Anne
But the smell of your hair
And the gold of your smile
And the touch of your skin
My blood has run cold, Mary Anne
And my face has worn thin
I've got nothing to tell you
Not a word I could say
Except everything's changed and the world's gone insane
And I've run out of love songs to play
I've yet to feel lonesome
I've shed not a tear
I burst at the seams with the meaning of joy
It's just a little less than when you were here
My Mary Anne—since you wandered, my heart fell astray
I'll be a man, if I must, through the dark of my day
Aw, Mary Anne—La Reina de la Mar Caribe
Footprints, like memories, fade as the tide falls away
I've thought not a moment of you, Mary Anne
I wake to the sound of the tide
I certainly never roll over and find myself
Face-to-face with your hazel-brown eyes
Anyway, those are just memories
Left stale and out in the cold
I certainly don't miss my very best friend, Mary Anne—
And I love growing old
