Maryanne, do you remember, the tree by the 
River, when we were seventeen?
The dark canyon wall, the call and the answer, and the mare in the 
Pasture, pitch black and barin' its teeth.

I recall the sun in our faces, stuck and leaning on 
Graces, and bein' strangers to change.
The radio and the bones we found frozen, an' all the thorns and the
Roses, beneath your window pane.

Chorus:
Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world, to a 
Potty-mouth girl, a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.
"Time isn't kind or unkind," you liked to say. But I 
Wonder to who, and what it is you're sayin' today.

Verse instrumental:
Ooooh, oo o ohh-hh-hh, oo o ohh-hh-hh, oo o o ooooooh x2

Repeat Chorus

Maryanne, do you remember, the tree by the 
River, when we were seventeen?

The dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon, happy just to be 
With you, and you were happy for me. (end G)
