Lyrics:
Well, a diamond fades quickly when matched to the face of Maria
All the harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the sky
Ah the brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfall
That spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes
She stands all around me her hands slowly siftin' the sunshine
All the laughter that lingers down deep 'neath her smilin' is free
Well, it spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morning
Then caresses the south wind and silently sails to the sea
As softly she wanders I'll desperately follow her footsteps
I chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sigh
They promise eternally that she lies hidden within them
but I find they've decieved me and sadly I bid them goodbye
So the serpent slides slowly away with his moments of laughter
And the old washer-woman has finished her cleanin' and gone
And the bamboo hangs heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreams
A lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong

One of the best songs ever written and sung about a women...
one of the best songs ever written and sung
Might be the best lyrics ever written
Best Townes song hands down.
This is such a beautiful song!
What a beautiful song...
Catching an inner part of TVZ, going from grand to heavy(at the end, a child hangs for a place "TO BELONG" 😢...)
Love this song
This is my wife Maria’s, anthem of love.
This song is so good
Sounds like Paris, Texas
was thinking this while listening today
This is the song I thought about as I read David Joy's "Where All Light Tends to Go."
