[00:04.44]Well, a diamond fades quickly when matched to the face of Maria
[00:12.95]All the harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the sky
[00:22.83]The brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfall
[00:31.96]That spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes
[00:40.11]
[00:41.03]Well, she stands all around me her hands slowly sifting the sunshine
[00:50.48]All the laughter that linger down deep 'neath her smilin' is free
[00:59.75]Well, it spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morning
[01:09.25]Then caresses the south wind and silently sails to the sea
[01:17.67]
[01:18.66]Ah, the sculptor stands stricken and the artist he throws away his brushes
[01:27.91]When her image comes dancin' the sun she turns sullen with shame
[01:37.40]And the birds they go silent the wind stops his sad mournful singing
[01:46.80]When the trees of the forest start gently to whispering her name
[01:54.76]
[01:56.18]So as softly she wanders I'll desperately follow her footsteps
[02:05.65]And I'll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sigh
[02:14.82]Ah, they promise eternally that she lies hidden within them
[02:24.40]But I find they've deceived me and sadly I bid them goodbye
[02:32.97]
[02:33.69]So the serpent slide softly away with his moments of laughter
[02:43.00]And the the old washer-woman has finished her cleanin' and gone
[02:52.49]But the bamboo hang heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreams
[03:01.96]And a lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong
[03:14.18]
