Maria Songtext / Lyric

At the edge of the world

Where you were no one

Yet you were the girl the only one

At the edge of the world in the desert heat

One shivering star, sweet, indiscreet

I knew you when we were young

I knew you when we were young

Now you're gone

In a little narcissus pool, drowned by a spell

We saw ourselves, raw, exciteable

I knew you when we were young

I knew you when we were young

Now you're gone

We didn't know the precariousness of our young powers

All the emptiness

Wild wild hair, such sad eyes

White shirt black tie you were mine

You grabbed the ring off the carousel

Time going from heaven to hell

I knew you
