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?
