Maria Lyrics - Keen Robert Earl

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
