From his cell he saw only the sea
_____
And a white house in the middle of the blue
_____
A woman came to the window, Maria
_____
That's the name he gave her
_____
In the morning she opened the window
_____
And he thought that's my home
_____
You'll be my partner, Maria
_____
And I dream of going away, away
And he already pictured a ring
_____
Long are the silences like the years are long
_____
Sweet words he imagined
_____
Tonight I'm getting out, Maria
_____
I'm coming to keep you company
_____
And the years keep going, all the years together
_____
His hair's already white and he doesn't know
_____
Tonight I'm getting out, Maria
_____
You'll see how beautiful the city is
And I dream of going away, away
And he already pictured a ring
_____
And I dream of going away, away
And he already pictured a ring
_____
And the years have gone, all the years together
_____
And by now his eyes don't see anymore
_____
He still said you're my woman
_____
And then he was alone in the middle of the blue
_____
And then he was alone in the middle of the blue, Maria
_____
And then he was alone in the middle of the blue
_____
And then he was alone in the middle of the blue
_____
And then he was alone in the middle of the blue
_____
And then he was alone in the middle of the blue
