[Verse 1]
In the dawning hour
Bells ringing, swallows darting
Maria stares into uncertainty
[Chorus 1]
Like rain she falls
On a martyr’s shadow
Left to pool
Maria, far away as Thule
[Verse 2]
Which way does she stray
North, South either way
There is nothing left to say
Only to forgive
[Chorus 2]
Like change deserted
Down a grated manhole
Left to rust
Maria, infinite as dust
[Chorus 3]
Like a spade she’ll carry
A graveyard’s soil
Left unfurled
Maria, bring me in your world
[Outro]
In a world where nothing dies
In a world where everything has life
