Maria Songtext
von Robert Earl Keen

There′s a salt grain tapping on your window
There's a cool breeze blowing off the bay
And a warm flame dancing with our shadows
To music playin′ far away

I never meant to stay an hour
I thought that I was passin' through
Another town along the highway
I never meant to fall for you

Well, I can't speak for you, Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There′s nothin′ left for dreams to steal


On a Bible by the mirror
The only treasures that we hold
The only secrets that we're keepin′
A watch, a chain, a cross of gold

Well, I can't speak for you, Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There′s nothin' left for dreams to steal

When the sunlight brings the mornin′
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

I can′t speak for you, Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothin′ left for dreams to steal

When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothin′ left for dreams to steal
