Maria
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
Now you're gone
In a little Narcissus pool
Drawn by it's spell
We saw ourselves raw exciteable
I knew you when we were young
I knew you
Now you're gone
We didn't know the precariousness of our young powers
All the emptiness
Wild wild hair
Sad sad eyes
White shirt black tie you were mine
You grabbed the ring of the carousel
Tangoing from heaven to hell
I knew you
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
Now you're gone
In a little Narcissus pool
Drawn by it's spell
We saw ourselves raw exciteable
I knew you when we were young
I knew you
Now you're gone
We didn't know the precariousness of our young powers
All the emptiness
Wild wild hair
Sad sad eyes
White shirt black tie you were mine
You grabbed the ring of the carousel
Tangoing from heaven to hell
I knew you
