mary's going out of her mind

she combs through her silver hair

with a brush that isn't there

as she looks into the mirror

with the strangest stare

she smears her lipstick on

and rubs her tired eyes

then she plays with her favorite dolly

and sings it a lullaby

mary's goin' out of her mind

waitin' for the man who left her behind

mary's goin' out of her mind

livin' in a crazy nightmare all the time

he's been gone three years but she doesn't know

to her he's still there

'cause he promised he never would go

and mary's goin' out of her mind

well tonight there's a special dinner

with a table set for two

she pours from an empty bottle

and says

darlin'
