Listening To Levon Lyrics - Join The Parade - Marc Cohn

I was sitting with Mary 

In my dads 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 Marys eyes 

but I was listening to Levon 

Marys hair was black 

That much I remember 

Marys was skin was smooth 

I remember that too 

And she opened her eyes 

Sometimes when she kissed me 

I dont 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 youre out there 

You know who you are 

Im sorry Mary 

It serves me right if 

You cant 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 youre listening right now to that old boy on the radio 

And youre lost 

And youre 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 youre listening to Levon?
