Lyrics Marc Cohn – Listening To Levon

I was sitting with Mary
In my dad’s blue Valiant
Rain was coming down
And the radio was playing

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 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?
