Mary Can You Come Outside Lyrics

Mary and a man live in a two-bedroom beside me
Used to see her in the hall at night
Passed her on the street
But lately she ain't comin' around no more
She hides indoors
Afraid of what the world might say if they knew
What I know
Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk with me in the sunshine
Maybe then you could tell me why
And all in all you seem to have it all
So why do you cry?
I hear you through the walls at night
Mary, can you come outside?

It's 2AM and the battle starts again
I pray for your innocence in a war you'll never win
Should I just sit here on these hands of mine
One more time
Or should I use them on him
The way he does on you?
Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk with me in the moonlight
Maybe then you could tell me why
And all in all you seem to have it all
So why do you cry?
I hear you through the walls at night
Mary, can you come outside?

Should I just sit here on these hands of mine
One more time?
Or should I use them on him
The way he does on you?
Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk with me in the moonlight
Maybe then you could tell me why
And all in all you seem to have it all
So why do you cry?
I hear you through the walls at night

Oh Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk, take a walk with me tonight
And maybe then you could tell me why
Mary, can you come outside?
Sweet Mary can you come outside?
