Maria Robert Earl Keen

[Verse 1]
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 playing faraway

[Verse 2]
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]
Well, I can't speak for you, Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothing left for dreams to steal

[Verse 3]
On a Bible by the mirror
The only treasures that we hold
The only secrets that we're keeping
A watch and chain, a cross of gold

[Chorus]
I can't speak for you, Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothing left for dreams to steal
