Maria

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 awayI never meant to stay an hour

I thought that I was passin' through

Another town along the highway

I never meant to fall for youWell, 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 stealOn 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 goldWell, 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 stealWhen 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 youI 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 stealWhen I sleep with you, Maria

There's nothin' left for dreams to steal
