Maria Lyrics - Ely Joe

Bringing in the New Year's Eve alone 

The glitter of the party life turns my face to home. 

Lovers and acquaintances all through the land 

Celebrate a grain of time down miles and miles of sand 

The Wheel of Fortune has stopped again 

Tho' the winning number was lost in the wind 

But I heard a gypsy swear it was stolen by someone 

Who steers a lonesome chariot in circles around the sun. 

Maria, I love you. 

Maria, I miss you. 

The clock strikes twelve and canons are fired 

The echo is heard till a year from tonight. 

The old man with his sickle just lay down and die 

While I held the baby's hand who danced where he lie. 

Maria, I love you. 

Maria, I miss you. 

(Repeat, Repeat, Repeat next year)
