| So many years I sought you Mary | B |
| In gardens rooms cities and mountains | C |
| In dumps whores in acting schools | D |
| In sick beds and in the rooms of mad people | E |
| In kitchen maids screaming celebrations of spring | F |
| In every kind of weather and every kind of day | G |
| In coffee houses mothers dancers | H |
| I did not find you in bars motion pictures | H |
| Music cafes excursions into the summer mist | I |
| Who knows the agony when I in the night on the streets | J |
| Cried out for you to the dead sky | K |

| Mary you to think of how | Q |
| I felt about you my heavy head sinks | R |
| Sea only and moon sea moon and wind and world | S |
| White sand encircling your white skin Mary | B |
| Your hair your smile all around is sea and distress | T |
| And shouts and longing and a gentle happiness | U |
| All this singing that makes for such weariness | U |
| Doesn't heaven come to us slowly like a mother's song | A |
| To the forehead of her child again and again | V |

| Sad Song | A |
| - | |
| Now I go once again among days animals | W |
| Rocks and thousands of eyes and sounds | X |
| The most foreign one I had to lose you | Y |
| Your sinful body Mary was so lovely | B |
| Now I once again in vain look among days animals | W |
| Rocks and sounds for a trace of you | Y |
| Now I also know I had to lose you | Y |
| I did not find you it was only your name | Z |

| Last Song | A |
| - | |
| Only come my rain fall against my face | A2 |
| Yellow street lamps overturn the houses | B2 |
| I don't want unbroken smooth roads | C2 |
| Now it is lovely only in the light of street lamps | D2 |
| Mary surrounded with dark rain | E2 |
| This is the way it should be I would like to be with you | Y |
| What are mountains and the flat land to me | B |
| What are cities to me and colorful hypnotic nights | F2 |
| Back to the ocean back to the starry shore | G2 |
| You are not entirely Mary whom I sought | H2 |
| But you are also Mary boundless | U |
| Beloved a fool cursed with longing | F |
