Lyrics for The Thoughts Of Mary Jane

Who can know The thoughts of Mary Jane Why she flies Or goes out in the rain Where she's been And who she's seen In her journey to the stars Who can know The reason for her smile What are her dreams When they've journeyed for a mile The way she sings And her brightly colored rings Make her the princess of the sky Who can know What happens in her mind Did she come from a strange world Leave her mind behind Her long lost sighs And her brightly colored eyes Tell her story to the wind Who can know The thoughts of Mary Jane Why she flies Goes out in the rain Where she's been And who she's seen In her journey to the stars
