No one ever understands why Mary sleeps alone
She doesn't care about the path the world is in her mind
Not so far from heaven she's leaving in the past

She broke her toys she killed the dog Mary sleeps alone
She feels the shot it's a no man's land Mary sleeps alone

Father takes her in his arms and tells her what she likes to hear
Sweet mother is always there with flowers and her precious kisses
Not so far from heaven Mary sleeps alone

She broke her toys she killed the dog Mary sleeps alone
She feels the shot it's a no man's land Mary sleeps alone
