O Maria! Songtext
von Sea Wolf

"Show me your stripes," said the zebra to
The wicked spider in the morning dew
"I will provide for you shelter and wine
If you can prove that you are of my kind"

Oh, Maria, I′d break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
Oh, Maria, you broke my brittle bones in two
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon

And then the spider turned onto its back
"Display the colors and free me, tracks"
Said, "When we go, we go alone"
And so they crossed the windy field
Spider divided by the zebra's heels
And every bird from above did cry
"You will be bitten, boy, you′ll surely die"

Oh, Maria, I'd break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
Oh, Maria, you broke my brittle bones in two
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon


We may be differing
Two sides of the same fence
You in your elegance
And me in my dumb strength

You were so kind to me
Beneath the willow trees
You took my hands in yours
And I got down on my knees

They said I couldn't see it clear
They said that it would disappear
But when they came and sang their song
They did blow upon the downy fields
I see but I cannot hear
I feel but I cannot fear
I knew you to be true
When I saw you first come near

Oh, Maria, I′d break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
Oh, Maria, I′d do it all again for you
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon


(Oh, Maria) I'd do it all again for you
(Oh, Maria) I′d do it all again for you
(Oh, Maria) I'd do it all again for you
(Oh, Maria) I′d do it all again for you
