Lyrics
Mary won't be comin' 'round no more
Mary will no longer visit or be present.
I won't touch her violet hair
I won't touch her distinctive violet-colored hair.
That fell like rain and filled the air
Her hair fell like rain and had a significant presence in the air.
With roses
The atmosphere was filled with the scent of roses.
Mary won't be comin' 'round no more
Mary will not visit anymore.
She won't look into my eyes
She won't make eye contact with me.
And tell me I'm the only one
She won't express that I'm the only one who truly understands her.
Who knows her
I am the only one who comprehends her deeply.
Mary won't be changing me no more
Mary will not influence or change me anymore.
She won't reach into my mind
She won't delve into my thoughts or emotions.
And fill those gutters with red wine
She won't intensify my emotional experiences with red wine and logical explanations.
And reason
No more rationalizing and justifying things through her influence.
Mary won't be changing me no more
Mary's impact on me will cease.
I guess that I knew all along
I was aware from the beginning that she would leave, possibly accompanied by a song of change.
That she'd be leaving with the song
Her departure is associated with a change in seasons.
Of season
Symbolizing a shift or transformation.

Mary won't be comin' 'round no more
Mary will not be around anymore.
She won't reach into my mind
She won't delve into my thoughts or emotions.
And fill those gutters with red wine
No more intensifying emotions with red wine and logical explanations.
And reason
Reasoning and justifying will no longer be influenced by her.
Mary won't be comin' 'round no more
Mary will not visit anymore.
She won't look into my eyes
She won't make eye contact with me.
And tell me I'm the only one
She won't express that I'm the only one who truly understands her.
Who knows her
I am the only one who comprehends her deeply.
