Maria

(album: Anywhere But Here - 2005)

I'm exhausted
Trying to catch my breath the morning after
Pour my coffee
With shaking hands and my world in disarray
Lost in the softness and strength that's in her hands
I see her face and I can barely stand
But oh, the sweet redemption every time she mentions
That she wants me, oh, that she needs me, oh

[Chorus:]
Maria
Your kisses knock me over
Make me drunk and then leave me sober
They let me know that I'm a man
Maria
Your touch, it almost kills me
Then it turns around and heals me
I get lost and found again
In the arms of a woman that a mother gave the name Maria
Tender power
The gift she gives me gets me through the day
Midnight hour
I reach across the bed where she lay
Then I look up and see the moon dance on her skin
My heart starts pounding once again
It's a sweet intoxication, a powerful frustration
How I want her, oh how I need her

[Repeat Chorus]

Maria
Your kisses knock me over
Make me drunk and then leave me sober
They let me know that I'm a man
Maria
Your touch, it almost kills me
Then it turns around and heals me
I get lost and found again
In the arms of a woman
In the arms of a woman that a mother
In the arms of a woman that a mother gave the name Maria
I'm exhausted
I'm still trying to catch my breath.
Maria
Oh Maria
