Mary Says Lyrics - How To Compose Popular Songs That Will Sell - Bob Geldof

Mary says she smells the winter coming in 

She sniffs the cooling air like some old dog 

She says the problem with these endless summers 

Is endless summers always have to end 

She pack a pen inside an empty pocket 

She says it's all she's ever going to need 

"I'll write a book of poems if I get hungry" 

She looks around just once before she leaves 

Everybody's always saying goodbye 

Everybody's got some place to leave 

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye 

Beheaded suns will light her crooked pathway 

Six-pointed stars illuminate her road 

Amputee moons guide her through her darkest nights 

And silver armies help to ease her load 

She says her problem with these endless summers 

Is endless summers always have to end 

The thinning sky is throwing lovely shadows 

The summer's gone and autumn's almost spent 

Everybody's always saying goodbye 

Everybody's got some place to leave 

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye 

Everybody always says goodbye 

Everybody's always saying goodbye 

Everybody's got some place to leave 

Mary feels the winter coming in 

She smelt it on the cooling breeze 

Mary says 

Mary says
