Santa Maria from Sister by Coyote Talk

Maria's in the hourglass
Remembering her epitaph
Don't touch or taste or feel or see the sights

Pretending he's a vagabond
He sings to her his minstrel song
"Maria I dream of you every night."

I know this is the heart of it
I don't want just a part of it
Who's to blame when you started it
I won't take just a part of it

Packing in their artifacts
They take her father's almanac
And travel past the rows of house and home

She pardons all the things he's done
He calls her his anointed one
Santa Maria

I'm gone,
My girls she's on the run
I'm gone,
And she's the only one

So take me out of Babylon
And bring me to Jerusalem
And lay me down upon the sun-warmed stone

Let's paint us in the marble sky
And somersault the starts at night
We're fading out we're nearly all our own
