Mary run around, sailin' up and down,
Looking for a shot in some direction.
Got it from the top, it's nothing you can stop,
Lord, you know they made a fine connection.
They love each other, Lord you can see that it's true,
Lord you can see that it's true, Lord you can see that it's true.
He could pass his time, around some other line
But you know he chose this place beside her.
Don't get in their way, there's nothing you can say,
Nothing that you need to add or do.
They love each other, Lord you can see that it's true,
Lord you can see that it's true, Lord you can see that it's true.
Its' nothing, they explain, it's like a diesel train
You better not be there when it rolls, over,
And when that train rolls in, you wonder where it's been,
You gotta try and see a little further.
[ ADDITIONAL LYRICS FROM THE 1973 VERSION ]
Though you'll make a noise, just can't hear your voice.
All the dizzy ride on your cold shoulder.
Won't you believe what I say is true?
Everything I did I heard it first from you.
Everything I tell you, I heard it first from you.
Heard your news report, you know you're falling short.
Pretty soon, we'll trust you for the weather.
When that ship comes in, you won't know where it's been.
You got to try to see a little further.

    General Comment:I think that this song means two friends that care about each other, are going to hook up but there are certain people that dont want this to happen for them and itf they find out there is trouble! He is taking full blame that it is his fault everything happened the way it did (but you know he chose this place beside him). This is the best Grateful Dead song going.

    General Comment:Hey, first i gotta say that i love this song. Itsmyownmind, you did a great job on the lyrics, but they were kind of out of order. the actual lyrics are...

    Merry run around
    Sailing up and down
    Looking for a shove in some direction
    Got it from the top
    It's nothing you can stop
    Lord, you know they made a fine connection

    Chorus
    They love each other
    Lord, you can see it's true
    Lord, you can see it's true
    Lord, you can see it's true

    He could pass his time
    Around some other line
    But you know he chose this place beside her
    Don't get in the way
    There's nothing you can say
    Nothing that you need to add or do

    [chorus]

    It's nothing, they explain
    It's like a diesel train
    Better not be there when it rolls over
    And when that train rolls in
    You won't know where it's been
    You gotta try to see a little further

    [chorus]

    Though you'll make a noise
    They just can't hear your voice
    They're on a dizzy ride and you're cold sober

    [chorus]

    Hope you will believe what I say is true
    Everything I did, I heard it first from you

    Heard your news report
    You know you're falling short
    Pretty soon won't trust you for the weather
    When that ship comes in
    You won't know where it's been
    You got to try to see a little further

    [chorus]

    Peace everyone!!!
