Maria Lyrics

You were right, so right

I knew it all along

You could fix time itself

So how could you be wrong?

This window, this stone

My breath upon the night

Your face turned against the spires

As you left me there

Yes, you knew that the world didn’t turn

As they said it had done all this time

You placed your eye against the glass

And told them twenty times – but they laughed

But I wanted you to know that I heard

You told of gravity, velocity

You handed me the sky

The true north of my compass

Was the clear gaze of your eye

You said I had a good mind

But we knew no one would care

So I hid my flesh and stowed my tongue

And gave myself to prayer

But yes, we knew that the world didn’t turn

As they said it had done all this time.

You showed them mountains on the moon

Celestial bodies never known

But I wanted just to say that I heard

The world doesn’t turn around us, no

The world doesn’t turn around us, no

You placed your eye against the glass

And told them twenty times, but they laughed

But I wanted you to know

I wanted you to know

You said the earth went round the sun

And they tied you up and stilled your tongue

But I wanted you to know

That I heard
