Maria
My love
The moon's on the rise
Your name's in the wind
It cuts through the pines
The porch swing creaks
Keeps time with my sighs
As the stars settle low in the Tennessee sky
Maria
My love
Where did you roam
The night feels so hollow
This house ain't a home
The river runs cold
And the mountains won't speak
Maria
My love
Come back to me
The clock's been stuck since the day you went
Its hands don't turn
Just like my lament
I hear the harmonica cry on the breeze
In a voice so familiar
It brings me to my knees
Maria
My love
Where did you roam
The night feels so hollow
This house ain't a home
The river runs cold
And the mountains won't speak
Maria
My love
Come back to me
The gravel path still holds your track
Faded now
But it pulls me back
I sit on this swing
The chains moan slow
Each creak a reminder of what I let go
Maria
My love
Where did you roam
The night feels so hollow
This house ain't a home
The river runs cold
And the mountains won't speak
Maria
My love
Come back to me
