Lyrics Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn with your drowning waves

My aching heart trying to be brave

When the shores capsize

And the sea comes in

Flooding out of you

Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn with your summer nose

In my garden heart pricking like a rose

Every drop of blood falling in the tin

I collect for you

Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn

I want you under the light of the flickering star

I need you, try to remember the way things are

Oh Maria Lyn, Ill be going soon

I cant stick around just to watch you swoon

Like a velvet dress falling from your skin

On the chequered tiles

Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn, with your giant walk

Over the green field to the scar of chalk

On a wounded hill like a zeppelin

I wanna crash on you

Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn

I want you under the light of the flickering star

I need you, try to remember the way things are

Come back to me and my hollow grin

It wouldnt cost a lot

Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn

I want you, try to remember the way things are

Try to remember the way things arent

The bees, the leaves, the clouds, the planes, the lungs, the skin

Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn, Maria Lyn

Oh Maria Lyn
