Robert Earl Keen - Mariano Intro lyrics

There's a salt grain tapping on your window There's a cool breeze blowing off the bay A warm flame dancing with our shadows To music playing far a way I never meant to stay an hour I thought that I was pa**ing through Another town along the highway I never meant to fall for you Chorus I can't speak for you Maria I only know the way I feel But when I sleep with you Maria There's nothing left for dreams to steal On a Bible by the mirror The only treasures that we hold The only secrets that we're keeping A watch, a chain, a cross of gold Repeat chorus When the sunlight brings the morning I cannot tell you what I'll do But I've a mind to take you with me And I've a heart to stay with you Repeat chorus Repeat last line of chorus
