Hello Mary The phone rings every Friday night She calls me "Austin" I pretend everything's alright Hello Mary No I'm not your only son I still play along Though I can tell her mind is gone She won't remember - it's all the same When she calls I still answer her by name Hello Mary Hello Mary Yes, the kids are fine I might as well say I'm coming home soon She asks all the time Hello Mary Yes I've missed you too The snow is melting And you say you've got new shoes She won't remember and it's fine When she calls I still answer every time Hello Mary I know one day That phones not gonna ring She'll be better off, I'll be wondering Hello Mary I hope you're doing fine I miss your calls I think about you all the time Hello Mary
