Lyrics

[Verse]
Gary met Mary by the old oak tree,
When the moonlight kissed the fields so free,
He held her close, her heart beat wild,
But they knew their love was a little too mild.

[Verse 2]
In a town where whispers grow like corn,
Gary loved Mary ‘neath the morning's yawn,
But families feuded and lines were drawn,
Two hearts were trapped in a cold dawn.

[Chorus]
Wrong place, wrong time, love couldn’t grow,
In the shadows they’d hide, where the river flows,
Forbidden love, so sweet but so blind,
Gary and Mary, hearts in a bind.

[Verse 3]
They’d steal moments by the county line,
The stars would weep, their love confined,
Each kiss a promise, fragile as glass,
In a world that wouldn’t let their love last.

[Verse 4]
Mary's tears fell like autumn rain,
Gary’s touch tried to soothe her pain,
In another life, if time could bend,
They’d be free to love, to the very end.

[Chorus]
Wrong place, wrong time, love couldn’t grow,
In the shadows they’d hide, where the river flows,
Forbidden love, so sweet but so blind,
Gary and Mary, hearts in a bind.
