Shaun Douglas - Maria, Dancing All Alone
текст песни

From here on in and forever after,
She is the axis and his days spin on her tilt.
Like many men he caved before her,
With every step and turn she sets the
Rhythm of the world

By dull light, seeks out distraction,
But his fingers tap the rhythm of her name,
By night, drinks to forget, but with each
Sip reappears, a reminder of Maria.

And the ticking and tocking rings throughout his head,
The inertia clings like rope around his neck,
He hears the brushing of the lace of her dress upon the floor,
And like crows seeking silver traces cracks between the doors.
And he waits while his eyes find patterns in the light.

And he'd sacrifice the empire, relinquish the throne,
For a glimps of Maria, dancing all alone.

By dull light, seeks out distraction,
But her figure fills the silence of the space,
By night, drinks to forget, but in a haze
All he hears all relates back to Maria.

And the clock spits in rhythms, time effortlessly tossed,
And every second passed is a second lost.
Recalls the brushing of the lace of her dress upon the floor,
And settles on the image of her filtered through the doors.
And each hint of her figure will stay with him forever.

His memories stretch the seconds of these moments into years,
Of the room slowly swaying to the movements of Maria.

Helen, Aphrodite, Persephone, and Hera,
All in their finest hours only paled to Maria.
The weight of his obsession pulls him slowly out from shore,
Maria shapes the currents and her beauty guides the course.
And he'll accept all of the longing, see the kingdom overthrown,
For the memory of Maria, dancing all alone.
