It took me years but then we finally Had a time and place to meet She looked a whole lot like her mother If she was who she claimed to be But I had my doubts as I walked Out of the airport to my car Then I watched all Buenos Aires melting Through the rain pelting the glass
And oh, Maria As a child I loved you most Oh, Maria I'm not so stubborn now, not even close
I knocked, she led me up She filled a kettle in the sink Told me her mother bought the place After she got out of Berlin She weren't staying to thank no Russian tank None of her sisters got away Some wound up turned into lampshades While the rest burned at the stake But Maria with her iron cross Had fled into the sky She reached the old Chilean border Wrapped in a deerskin with her child
But oh, Maria I thought that you could read my mind Oh, Maria I'm no reporter, you have no child
You see, what I'm sayin' Is Maria's here with us now And that's 'cause she is you And you will live forever And it's too late to know If the rest is lies or truth But I do know you're proof That there's no God in heaven
Oh, Maria Who vanished without trace Is now sat face to face With someone who remembers Oh, Maria Is it a blessing or a curse How all your men die with the Earth And yet your life is endless? Oh, Maria My work will set you free It's like a gift from you to me By way of deception And you can run But you'll never get away So if you're gonna make your play The time is now or neverTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
