| Lady Maria, is that you?
|
| I’ve been worried to death about you
|
| Here in the car, in the drive down south
|
| Who let him drive with a mind like that?
|
| Well, oh mother, for goodness sake
|
| We’re both kickin' in the sunshine state
|
| Well how’s he doing, and where is he now?
|
| He’s on a beach in a rope somewhere
|
| Right there as he held my hand
|
| I coulda sworn he was looking for a good time
|
| A good man in a foreign land
|
| A good man doing all he can
|
| So listen up as I tell you how
|
| You’ve gotta leave him, oh, leave him now
|
| He’ll be the one that’ll lose his mind
|
| He’ll be the one that’ll take your life
|
| So he swam on the yellow sun
|
| Where I could tell his heart was done
|
| A final prayer with a loaded gun
|
| So unfair was the life he’d won
|
| Right there in the the he shared
|
| He couldn’t bare the cold nightmare
|
| Where his mind would find a door elsewhere
|
| A door he knew that led nowhere
|
| So he swam on a yellow sun
|
| Where I could tell that his heart was done
|
| A final prayer with a loaded gun
|
| So unfair, that was the life he’d won |
| And as he pulled his eyes to the sky
|
| He felt the breeze of his life
|
| He didn’t have to say goodbye
|
| A goodbye to another life
|
| And goodbye to the one you love
|
| The one you need and the one you trust
|
| The one you’ve got to be here with
|
| Forever gone, forever taken from us |
