Maria, Maria Lyrics

Down on Columbus while the pretty girls sigh

Maria blows past like a storm in July

She steals the breath from me, blows back what's left of me

The star of her own show

But now Maria Maria don't know

Maria Maria don't know

She's the tail of a comet, she's the foam of the sea

She's twelve bolts of lightning that keep striking me

Without simplicity I trace complicity

By every curl of her hair

But now Maria Maria don't care

Maria Maria don't care

I still can't shake all the trouble that I'm sinking in

When she jumps with me I can't help from falling again

Midnight leans back and then calls out her name

And we both know the story the scene's just the same

In this vague history, there's not much mystery

At least not to me anyway 

So now Maria Maria don't stay

Maria Maria don't stay

Her eyes look different in the light of the day

When there's not much to do and little to say

She says there's nothing kind about an unmade mind

And never's better than late

So now Maria Maria won't wait

Maria Maria don't wait

I still can't shake all the trouble that I'm sleeping in

When she jumps with me I can't help from falling again

Again again and again

Too anxious to stay, too careful to choose

With nothing to win, but something to lose

We live love in between what we do and what we mean

But darling we're young enough to know

So now Maria Maria don't go

Maria Maria don't go
