If My Mary Were Here

Harry Chapin

Transposer:

[Intro] / / [Verse 1] I would not be so stoned If my Mary were here And I don’t think I’d have phoned you If my Mary were here I’m a sad sack Sir Gallahad Whose sword’s around his knees With a Grail no longer holy And a prayer that’s saying please [Verse 2] I would not be alone If my Mary were here But she took off And Lord I’m lost / / [Verse 3] You know I don’t think I’d be drinkin’ If my Mary were here And I know what I’d be thinking If my Mary were here We’d be wrapping up a blanket Full of cheddar cheese and wine And packin’ up our camper With a rendevous in mind [Verse 4] And we’d picnic out in Lincoln Park If Mary were here But she split... So I got lit [Bridge] I’m sorry that I called you In the middle of the night But you’re the one who listens When I need a little light I know we haven’t talked Since I’d dropped you in the dirt I know you’re not my lady now But Baby how I hurt I would toss away my troubles When my Mary was here But I’m lost inside the rubble ’Cause my Mary’s not here So could I come on over With my heart in my hands And place it on your pillow Like a rusty old tin can I’m drunk and seeing double But my Mary’s not here Once again be the friend that you’ve been And take me in Please take me in...

La chanson évoque la douleur d'une séparation et le sentiment de perte qu'éprouve le protagoniste. Il partage sa solitude et son désespoir, soulignant à quel point sa vie serait différente et plus lumineuse si sa chère Mary était présente. Il se remémore des moments simples et heureux qu'ils auraient pu vivre ensemble, comme des pique-niques et des instants de complicité. Son mal-être le pousse à chercher réconfort auprès d'une amie, bien qu'il soit conscient des blessures du passé et des conséquences de ses choix. Le contexte de cette chanson parle de la lutte intérieure d'un homme, partagé entre la nostalgie de l'amour perdu et le besoin de se reconstruire. Il utilise l'alcool pour échapper à sa tristesse, révélant ainsi une quête désespérée de connexion et de rédemption.
