listening to levon

i was sitting with mary

in my dad's blue valiant

rain was coming down

and the radio was playing

mary was talking

a million miles a minute

i could not hear one word she was saying

cause i was lost

i was gone

listening to levon

in another world

in another place

i was was lost

i was gone

listening to levon

i was looking at mary's eyes

but i was listening to levon

mary's hair was black

that much i remember

mary's was skin was smooth

i remember that too

and she opened her eyes

sometimes when she kissed me

i don't know why she did that

maybe mary knew

i was lost

i was gone

listening to levon

in another place

in some other world

i was was lost

i was gone

listening to levon

i was looking at the girl

but i was listening to levon

i changed her name

to protect the innocent

i might have even lied

about the car

this is just to say

sorry if i hurt you

mary if you're out there

you know who you are

i'm sorry mary

it serves me right if

you can't even hear me singing

if you tuned me out a long time ago

and it served me right

if you already changed the station

and you're listening right now to that old boy on the radio

and you're lost

and you're gone

listening to levon

in another world

from some other place

are you lost?

are you gone?

listening to levon

is there a smile your face

while you're listening to levon?
