[Verse 1]
I was sitting with Mary
In my dad's 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

[Chorus]
'Cause I was lost
I was gone
Listening to Levon
In another world
Oh, in another place
I was lost
I was gone
Listening to Levon
I was looking in Mary's eyes
But I was listening to Levon (Oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
Mary's hair was black
That much I remember
Mary's skin was smooth
I remember that too
And she'd open her eyes
Sometimes when she kissed me
I don't know why she did that
Maybe Mary knew
[Chorus]
That I was lost
I was gone
Listening to Levon
In another place
Oh, in some other world
Yeah, I was lost
I was gone
Listening to Levon
I was looking at the girl
But I was listening to Levon (Oh yeah, oh yeah)

[Bridge]
I changed her name
To protect the innocent
I might have even lied
About the car
This is just to say
I'm sorry if I hurt you
But Mary if you're out there
'Cause you know who you are
I'm sorry Mary

[Verse 3]
Well it serves me right
If you can't even hear me singing
If you tuned me out a long time ago
And it serves me right
If you already changed the station
And you're listening right now
To that old boy on the radio (Radio)
[Chorus]
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?
