Danny is lonely 'cause Mary's in India now
She said she'd call but that was three weeks ago
She left all her things, well, her books and her letters from him
And as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him
And just dance and just drink and just see the things
I'll probably never get a chance to see
Danny's not eating, he's drinking and sleeping in
I saw him last night at a party, he's definitely thin
He says he's happy, he looked pretty good but I think
That as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him
And just dance and just drink and just see the things
I probably never get a chance to see
Danny came over last night and I cooked for him
We talked about you, Mary, and how much we loved you still
He told me he's packed up your books and your letters and things
And as the sun sets on Mary, it's rising on him
And we danced and we drank and I've seen some things
You probably never got a chance to see
Don't worry, Mary 'cause I'm taking care of Danny
And he's taking care of me
Mary breaks up with Danny, and danny is so upset he drinks and starves himself. Mary asks the singer (dido) to look after danny. She does and one thing leads to another and they hook up
