I Dreamed of You, Maria Songtext
von The Clientele

Let′s go out now, Jesus Christ
No more silhouettes tonight

Walking home when the movie ends
Where the burweed flowers up and down the chain-link fence
I'll see you around
I′ll see you around

I dreamed of you, Maria, in a doorway by the sea
And the kids down on the beach were skimming stones
And your sickness lay so light on you, like a feather in your palm
Like the corner of a street where music comes

Burweed on the railway gate
After Christmas, I'll go straight
All the faces that we wore
And the falling silent stars
I'm the needle, you′re the thread
Someone′s on the window ledge


I've followed signs and wonders, but it never got me far
And I could not find the place that I came from
And voices often sang to me, but their music had no words
And everywhere they led me, I was lost

I dreamed of you, Maria, now I don′t remember when
Some night the wind spoke through the Weald
And I walked out and kissed your face in a lane beside the shop
And all the rest is something from a dream

One morning, I
Awoke so early, I didn't know who I was
Blown like rain just like I was coming across
And I knew that I would die

Out in the dark, the hatchbacks are rolling
Windows unwound, the cigarettes glowing
The blue air and silhouettes so far and close
Nobody knows where the garden eye goes

Out in the dark, the hatchbacks are rolling
Cigarettes glow where the quarry banks open
The blue air in fever, beyond and above
Nobody knows why the garden eye comes
