Lyrics
SHE BLOWS AWAY
MARY SITS IN THE PARK IN HER SWEATER
ON A WARM AND SUNNY DAY
PEOPLE PASS HER BY AND NOTICE SHE'S SHIVERING
AND THEY LOOK THE OTHER WAY
ASK HER HOW SHE'S DOING SHE'LL SAY
EVERYTHING IS FINE
BUT CHECK A LITTLE CLOSER
A TEAR IS FORMING IN THE CORNER OF HER EYE
AS SHE BLOWS AWAY
SHE BLOWS AWAY
MARY BLOWS AWAY
SHE USED TO HAVE A FAMILY USED TO HAVE SOME FRIENDS
SHE SAID THEY DIDN'T LIKE MY LIFE
SO I DECIDED TO TRADE THEM
AND YOU KNOW I COME FROM MONEY
THAT'S WHERE I GET MY CHARM
THEN LAUGHS WHO NEEDS THAT
PUTS A NEEDLE IN HER ARM
AS SHE BLOWS AWAY
SHE BLOWS AWAY
MARY BLOWS AWAY
SHE THINKS ABOUT HER BOYFRIEND
HE'S PROBABLY STILL IN SCHOOL
SHE SAID HE TRIED TO SAVE ME
CAN YOU BELIEVE THE FOOL
SHE BLOWS AWAY
WAITING FOR A FRIEND WHO'S GOT A LITTLE MONEY
GONNA TAKE HER FOR A RIDE
ONE DAY SHE MIGHT PURCHASE THAT ONE WAY TICKET
TO THE OTHER SIDE
SHE SAYS I ONLY TRIED IT ONCE THAT'S ALL IT TAKES
NOW SHE NEVER LOOKS IN THE MIRROR
CAUSE SHE SHAKING BREAKING AND THAT'S NOT HER FACE
SHE BLOWS AWAY
PROPERTY IS CHEAP THIS SIDE OF TOWN
JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK
HER FAVORITE PLACE IS MONTGOMERY STREET
THE PERFECT LITTLE NOOK
NOW ALL SHE HOPES FOR IS THAT WINTER WILL BE KIND
BUT CHECK A LITTLE CLOSER A TEAR IS FORMING IN THE CORNER OF HER EYE
AS SHE BLOWS AWAY
SHE BLOWS AWAY
MARY BLOWS AWAY
