lyrics

Ave Maria
+ + +
ghost light
and the street lights turn on
and the moon
reads this days last rights
and it’s you that i think of
when the girls sing...
hallelujah, maria, maria

all the blame
drives the doves away
and i saw it coming
maria, maria

and the clouds turn dark
outside your kitchen window
and the clouds sail by in the shapes of ships
to carry you away
hallelujah, maria, maria
