lyrics

Maria

I'm stranded on a highway miles from my home
Near Saulsolito 'neath the lonely pouring rain.
The shower of these tears
hidden behind every lighting bolt
reminds me once again

(chorus)
The stars won't shine again tonight, Maria
I'm a million miles from your arms
and the peace that I feel for you is gone
to questions ending dreams in false alarms.

When I'm swept away in a cloud
and the scene is looking grim
I'll picture you before me
my spirit for to swim
The ocean is my shelter
it is where the good Lord cries
He sees me standing here alone
and I feel for the ocean of God's eyes.

(chorus)

There's a funeral on the oceanside
and the priest has a fire in his glare
he sees there's no one to grieve me
and his prayers have been sent to heavens stair
someday soon the melting is going to stop
and the shore will be dry like God's face
because Maria will be climbing that stair
someday every heart will find its place.

(chorus)

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
