Robert Earl Keen - Maria lyrics

rate me

There's a salt grain tapping on your window

There's a cool breeze blowing off the bay

A warm flame dancing with our shadows

To music playing far a way

I never meant to stay an hour

I thought that I was passing through

Another town along the highway

I never meant to fall for you

CHORUS

I can't speak for you Maria

I only know the way I feel

But when I sleep with you Maria

There's nothing left for dreams to steal

On a Bible by the mirror

The only treasures that we hold

The only secrets that we're keeping

A watch, a chain, a cross of gold

REPEAT CHORUS

When the sunlight brings the morning

I cannot tell you what I'll do

But I've a mind to take you with me

And I've a heart to stay with you

REPEAT CHORUS

Repeat last line of chorus
