lyrics
Maria says, "Berlin is nice this time of year. A clearer sky, a darker wine, a mind that’s free from fear." Maria says, "Come visit me. Come visit me in the Spring. We’ll laugh in every alleyway, and we’ll lie in every lawn.
Maria says, "Come visit me. Come visit me in the Fall. We’ll salute each moon that rises, and we’ll crawl to bed at dawn. And we’ll sing a song of a much simpler time. A clearer sky, a darker wine, and a mind that’s free from fear."
Maria says, "Come walk with me in the morning hills of India. In fields where spider lilies bloom, where tigers walk in twos."
Maria, laughing low and sweet. Maria, I will kiss your feet. Maria, sweet and low she laughs. Maria says Berlin. Forgotten for a little while, then a dream, or a letter. Maria, in my mind, so beautiful and thin. Maria says Berlin.
And we’ll sing a song of a much simpler time. A clearer sky, a darker wine, and a mind that’s free from fear. Yes, we’ll sing a song of a much simpler time. A clearer sky, a darker wine, and a mind that’s free from fear.
Maria, in my mind, so beautiful and thin. Maria says Berlin.
