Lyrics
Nobody Special-music and lyrics Jon Clark © 2014 Row North Music
Mary's got a tune to sing you tonight
a song that she learned from the willow tree
listen can't you hear when the breezes blow
sorrow through the branches one bends to the ground
Hear her______when she cries
Feel her_______when she sighs
The crowd's thinning out some tables are free
many have seen the fool out the door
time's running out for those who don't know
one hour left she goes on her way
Hear her______when she cries
Feel her_______when she sighs
Hear her______when she cries
Feel her_______when she sighs
Case in her hand down the cold avenue
she walks through the night, many more than some
climbing the stairs to a bed on the floor
lights of the city do their dance on the wall
Hear her______when she cries
Feel her_______when she sighs
Tears for no eyes she tells you that's so
covered with anger yet still shows the truth
one worthy heartache can strengthen your soul
why did it happen to her just the same
Hear her______when she cries
Feel her_______when she sighs
