there s a salt grain tapping on your window there s a cool breeze blowing off the bay a warm flame dancing with our shadows to music playing far a way i never meant to stay an hour i thought that i was passing through another town along the highway i never meant to fall for you chorus i can t speak for you maria i only know the way i feel but when i sleep with you maria there s nothing left for dreams to steal on a bible by the mirror the only treasures that we hold the only secrets that we re keeping a watch a chain a cross of gold repeat chorus when the sunlight brings the morning 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 repeat chorus repeat last line of chorus
