Maria Songtext
von West End Junction

The safety of a room bathed in yellow light
With painted darkness on the windows
And the sweet sounds of other people living their lives
They were intimate friends until I lost them all again

Wake up my friend and search the mass of huddled buildings now
Shrouded and headless in the fog
The east side′s shadowed corridors are lonesome and long
Searching for daylight
But it isn't here, it isn′t here


Oh Maria, take me back
Oh Maria, take me back
There's more than seven million little lights out there

The window screen transforms each light in cross-shaped majesty
One hundred beacons in the darkness
And in each tiny Bethlehem there's shepherds and kings
They all are seeking
But it isn′t here, it isn′t here

Oh Maria, take me back
Oh Maria, take me back
There's more than seven million little lights out there
There′s more than seven million little lights out there
