Robyn Hitchcock - Maria Lyn lyrics

Oh Maria Lyn with your drowning waves My aching heart trying to be brave When the shores capsize And the sea comes in Flooding out of you Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn Oh Maria Lyn Oh Maria Lyn with your summer nose In my garden heart pricking like a rose Every drop of blood falling in the tin I collect for you Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn Oh Maria Lyn I want you under the light of the flickering star I need you, try to remember the way things are Oh Maria Lyn, I'll be going soon I can't stick around just to watch you swoon Like a velvet dress falling from your skin On the chequered tiles Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn Oh Maria Lyn Oh Maria Lyn, with your giant walk Over the green field to the scar of chalk On a wounded hill like a zeppelin I wanna crash on you Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn Oh Maria Lyn I want you under the light of the flickering star I need you, try to remember the way things are Come back to me and my hollow grin It wouldn't cost a lot Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn Oh Maria Lyn I want you, try to remember the way things are Try to remember the way things aren't The bees, the leaves, the clouds, the planes, the lungs, the skin Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn Oh Maria Lyn
