Cover art for Mary's In India lyrics by Dido

THis song is so unique, I love it. Dido tells a story of her two friends who were in a relationship at one time, Mary and Danny. Mary leaves Danny (for some unknown reason) and moves to India, probably for some type of journey. She leaves Danny behind lonley and mourning her, for some reason I don't think Mary really cares. Dido see her friend Danny around here and there and eventually invites him over for dinner. They laugh and play and talk about how great of a person Mary is. But, Dido starts to see something beautiful and attractive in Danny that draws her to him. She probably cannot leave Danny's side and she can't figure out for the life of her how Mary could. The same attraction Dido is seeing in Danny, Mary is seeing in her life's journey, which is the reason why shel left Danny in the first place. She tells Mary not to worry about Danny, because she is taking care of Danny and he is taking care of her! Insuating that they are sleeping together or together in some closer than friendship kind of way. I love this story telling song!!!
