Quicksilver Daydream of Maria |
Well, the diamonds fades quickly when matched to the face of Maria |
All the harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the sky |
The brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfall |
That spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes |
Well, she stands all around me her hands slowly sifting the sunshine |
All the laughter that linger down deep 'neath her smilin' is free |
Well, it spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morning |
And caresses the south wind and silently sails to the sea |
Ah, the sculptor stands stricken and the artist he throws away his brushes |
When her image comes dancin' the sun she turns sullen with shame |
And the birds they go silent the wind stops his sad mournful singing |
When the trees of the forest start gently to whisperin' her name |
So as softly she wanders I’ll desperately follow her footsteps |
And I’ll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sight |
Ah, they promise eternally that she lays hidden within them |
But I find they’ve deceived me and sadly I bid them goodbye |
So the serpent slide softly away with these moments of laughter |
And the the old washy woman has finish her cleanin' and gone |
But the bamboo hang heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreams |
And a lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong |
