Maria

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the dawning hour Bells ringing, swallows darting Maria stares into uncertainty [Chorus 1] Like rain she falls On a martyr's shadow Left to pool Maria, far away as Thule [Verse 2] Which way does she stray North, South either way There is nothing left to say Only to forgive [Chorus 2] Like change deserted Down a grated manhole Left to rust Maria, infinite as dust [Chorus 3] Like a spade she'll carry A graveyard's soil Left unfurled Maria, bring me in your world [Outro] In a world where nothing dies In a world where everything has life
