Hey Maria

I've been thinking

been thinking bout moving 

far away
cross the sea, maybe

somewhere cold and magnificent

 

hey Maria,

I'm losing bits of myself

to this tired place

I'm losing the taste

and the hunger

for some cold truth magnificent

 

you see here,

this is my time
and it's high time

this bird flew the coop
pulled his neck from the noose

and set out upon those
cold, cold north winds Maria,
now it's high tide,

time I untied

and brought back that man
that you thought a mystic

so many moons ago

 

Hey Maria,

I've been thinking,

been thinking I'm afraid

afraid of dying

before I've made peace

with the least thing I've done in my time

so set yourself yeah

lets set sail.... for some cold, cold, cold, cold truth

(chorus)
