Mary

Quick post, just for kicks.

Since we have a new addition to our already instrument-filled home, Katie and I decided that, by the end of the summer, we want to be able to write/play some duets. She on piano, me on cello. Me on guitar, she on cello. I started writing a song yesterday on guitar, with a cello melody in mind of course.. or you could sub guitar for piano. Either way. The lyrics are bellow (and are subject to change) but I thought I'd let you take a peak. Suggestions welcome :)

"Mary"
Mary stands beneath the streetlight with her bags packed on the platform.
She watches the only train pass by, and she doesn't mind.
She was looking for something sentimental in her Mary Jane shoes.
And she thought she'd find it here singing all its melancholy blues.

She thought that seeing something pass that could have
taken her back to you would make her cry.

But Mary doesn't cry.

She ponders in the past about the things that didn't last
and hopes to shed a tear- for all that was lost on you, or
all that was lost.

But once it's left her skin it leaves her heart and so begins
to fade right from her mind.

And Mary doesn't cry.
No, Mary doesn't cry.

She walks the tracks back to your town
And as her thoughts careen her eyes begin to shine
But there is something in her veins
that takes up all the space you left behind

A sense of joy tucked up, behind her lips
and her teeth begin to chatter with delight

And though there's fire in your lies
yeah, though there's fire in her skies,
there's a fire in her eyes

and Mary doesn't cry.
