Pretty Mary K (Other Version)

Pretty Mary K walks along the dock
 With some sailor's pay shoved down in her sock
 Pretty Mary K with some little boy in blue
 Who can't stay away from you
 Pretty Mary K took him back to town
 I'm down here by the bay where the water pounds
 Up against the wall, crying black and blue
 He keeps me away from you
 Pretty words that you whispered
 Maybe I misunderstood
 Somebody's not paying attention
 What they promise, and their word isn't good
 Oh, Mary K
 I can see your face
 Down there in the waves, painted and erased
 But I know it's just a reflection of the moon
 A big fake resembling you
 I'm gonna go down in the water
 Fill my mouth up full of sand
 I'll be waiting, still impatient with my dead imagination
 While you're with some other man
 Pretty Mary K is off in somebody's room
 I'm down here by the bay, my arm around the moon
 But I'll be with you soon, just as soon as I've paid
 A walk across the water with pretty Mary K
 Walk on the water, pretty Mary K
