Maria                                        July 4, 2012

I've been shattered, tattered,

Torn to bits

By your swift sword cutting me down.

I've never been afraid

Of a fate so staid,

Though I am for the one I'm in now.

And look at you,

So pretty in blue,

The picture of sartorial elegance.

I tried to unwind,

But you were unkind,

And now, to think we are through....

 

So let go, Maria,

Let's make up for lost time.

So let go, Maria,

For this all should be a crime.

So let go, Maria.

Let's spread our wings and fly.

Let's fly away across a jet blue sky.

 

And now I'm in a funk,

And it seems I'm about sunk,

And just look at you,

Sitting with all my love true.

Just see us now.

Just feel the burn of how

We are apart.

Oh, how that does smart!

Just feel the pain,

And know that this is insane.

So, now you know how I feel.

My love for you is very real.

Just let it go, Maria,

And let our troubles go up in smoke.

 

So let go Maria,

Let's make up for lost time.

So let go Maria,

For this all should be a crime.

So let go Maria,

Let's spread our wings and fly.

Let's fly away across a jet blue sky.

 

They say lovers quarrel,

But I prefer to bathe you in floral.

Just know my love,

Know that I pray for you Up Above.

And know this, my lady,

That I'll never give up on you.

Just have some faith,

And I think our love will be safe.

They say you hate me now,

That I need not wonder why,

But if I had it my way, my liege,

I'd make all things right....
