Mary and her man live in a two-bedroom beside me
Used to see her in the hall
And I'd 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,
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 2 am 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 to do what he
Does to you?

Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk with me in the moonlight
Maybe then you could tell me why,
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 to do what he

Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk with me in the moonlight?
Maybe then you could tell me why,
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?
Maybe then you could tell me why
Mary, can you come outside?
Sweet Mary can you come outside?
