Mary Maxine by Tim Landry Lyrics

What happened to the great storm that came
In the early winter?
Where'd it go, my lovely?

Where did it go?
Did it drip down on those tracks that you stood on
When the train came, the train came along?

We didn't want to pay for the fare
So we let it hit us there, together
But I held you, Baby Mine
And it was all so fine

I wonder what the people on the platform thought
I now wonder what the people on the platform thought
"What happened to the perfect couple on the tracks?
What happened to Tim Landry and Mary Maxine?"
Oh, Tim Landry and Mary Maxine on the rails one day
Oh, on the rails one day

You told me once in passing
What it might be like to, maybe, go out with a bang
But I said, "No, Mary Maxine. We're going out on a train
Going out on a train."
I said, "No, Mary Maxine. We're going out on a train
We're Going out on a train"
So, Winter comes, as it does, and
It puts the snow on the [?]
So, you can't drive anywhere
So, where you gonna go but the train?
Where you gonna go but the train?
Oh, Mary Maxine, where you gonna go but the train?

And look on the platform, all of those people!
Look on the platform, Mary Maxine, all those little people!
Well, what're they gonna, what're gonna bring?
Are they gonna attend our wedding?
Oh, Mary Maxine, let a train take us away!

*ambulance sirens blare*
One, two—Put those feet on—three, four
Oh, it's only that we've been here before
But I never once thought, never once thought
That in this little life of mine
It would be on the tracks that you would be mine
Finally, you'd be mine!
You'd be mine!
With a train's passing, you'd be mine!
