Well the screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
And like a vision she dances across the porch
While the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
'Cause I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside darling
You know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young any more
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
And that's alright with me
You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well listen I ain't no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
What else can we do now?
