Lyrics

EMPTY HOUSE

(whispering sounds)
Maria . . .
Maria . . .
Maria . . .

Under pinwheels of dust and starlight
In rafters of memory
You are there
As under a forgotten stair
Or 'neath the roof where the rain comes through
And your name clamours out
Through dusky passageways of lungs and heart and dream . . .
Maria . . .
Maria . . .


Here within the walls of my empty house
In a dark and empty room
I stand and stare
Through window glass
At a frosty valley on the moon
Here the light is blue, so very blue
And the rooms, all the rooms so very cold
Without you
Maria. . .
Maria. . .
(repeat to end)
