    Story Behind the Song
    One of those spooky times when a song comes out fully formed, lyrics and all, when you pick up the guitar. Written circa 1992. Reviewed and featured in Recording MAgazine a few years back.

    The last time I used the word "girl" in a song, incidentally.

    Lyrics
    The girl appears in open windows
    hiding in shadows. Awaken my fears
    but not my nightmares.
    I think her name is Mary

    Remembering the nights we went dancing
    to the tune of our misgivings
    and in the distance dogs were howling
    I think her name is Mary.

    Crepe-paper Susan on a Tuesday
    slips on rain-soaked sidewalks
    I never could take April disasters
    so I had to turn to Mary

    The girl explains the monsoon season
    in the midst of apprehension
    my soul washes rain away with ashes.
    I'm sure her name was Mary.
