Lyrics: Heard you were looking for a permanent home All I had was what I could carry I know Youre a gypsy and could teach me to fly They told me that your name was Mary Mary can fly Mary dont cry She makes love by the ocean When I am down, Mary come round Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean When I was young I used to think about love Wondered how to tell it was real now Mary she kissed me then she smiled and she said You can tell it by the way that it feels now Mary can fly Mary dont cry She makes love by the ocean When I am down Mary come round Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean Mary makes magic and she does it so well Thats the reason that I cant refuse her I told her my secrets, but shell never tell Thats the reason that I dont want to lose her Thats the reason that I dont want to lose her Mary can fly Mary dont cry She makes love by the ocean When I am down, Mary come round Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean (Mary can fly, Mary dont cry She makes love by the ocean When I am down, Mary come round Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean) She can fly, She dont cry She wont turn me down When I come to town She makes magic Aint no dollar trick Does it all with ease Makes you want to please Carry Mary down To the ocean Tol me love was real Its the way it feels She can fly She dont cry |
