With her nose in a book
And her head in the clouds
A cool breeze would carry her into town
And she'll pass me by
Almost every day
But I never know what to say
Dear Maria
Will I see you again?
You're everything I need
Dear Maria
Will I see you again?
You'll never let me be
Dear Maria
You belong to me
My head in a daze
And her books on the shelf
I quietly call out for help
And she reaches up
Oh so carefully
And I see on her finger, a ring
Dear Maria
Will I see you again?
You're everything I need
Dear Maria
Will I see you again?
You'll never let me be
Dear Maria
You belong to me
With my hands in the dirt
And sweat on my brow
I lower her gently into the ground
And she'll sleep now
Peaceful from hereon
And I'll join her soon, with the dawn
Dear Maria
Will I see you again?
You're everything I need
Dear Maria
Will I see you again?
You'll never let me be
Dear Maria
You belong to me

Ciarra played the libraries.
Thematic, majestic and beautiful. A whole series of albums from Rogue Valley concern themselves with love, nostalgia, and the landscape of America. Currently one of my favourite things these days. Jaron Eldon
