Lyrics
Maria Maria Maria
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
you'd better go, or you'll be late for your train
right about now, your husband is raising Cain
it's not psychosis, it's just fear
but leave those roses here
maria, maria, maria
maria, maria, maria
will I only love you from afar?
like loving a cloud, loving a star?
maria, maria
maria, maria, maria
will you never know how beautiful you are?
when I said: "why can't we just be together?"
she waved goodbye, and walked across the heather
and then I took off my disguise
- I wonder if she ever cries
I wonder if she ever knew
her lover was her husband, too
