you'd better go, or you'll be late for your train
right about now, your husband is raising Cain
it's not psychosis, it's just fear
but leave those roses here

maria, maria, maria
maria, maria, maria
will I only love you from afar?
like loving a cloud, loving a star?
maria, maria
maria, maria, maria
will you never know how beautiful you are?

when I said: "why can't we just be together?"
she waved goodbye, and walked across the heather
and then I took off my disguise
- I wonder if she ever cries

I wonder if she ever knew
her lover was her husband, too
