Maria (When You're Away) Lyrics

Maria when you're away

My heart can't stand to stay

But I know I can't decide

On the reasons to ask why

Maria when you're away

My heart can't stand to stay

But I know I can't decide

On the reasons to ask why

I know it's been a while

Since I've stared at the shower tile

But here we go again

As I count from one to ten

With these cigarettes in hand

They fade away like the desert sand

And give me the piece of mind

That would stop at the edge of time

Without you

Am I through

Held on by a string

You're the one with everything

Even when you left the phone

I didn't want to be alone

As my tears were shed

Rain fell from the shower head

Pouring like a waterfall

Covering my missing calls

Without you

Am I through

Maria when you're away

My heart can't stand to stay

But I know I can't decide

On the reasons to ask why

Maria when you're away

My heart can't stand to stay

But I know I can't decide

On the reasons to ask why

At the time of it all would you say what you said was true

At the time of it all did the future have me and you

At the time of it all would you say what you said was true

For what it was and for what we knew could anything have followed through

Maria when you're away

My heart can't stand to stay

But I know I can't decide

On the reasons to ask why

Maria when you're away

My heart can't stand to stay

But I know I can't decide

On the reasons to ask why
