sunset lights up, the flicker of reflectors on the road
its dark, now the sun is down and the radio is playing a song i dont know
brings to mind all those lines i wrote about those
girls i met and the times i had
some good, some not so bad
too many songs have come before
blondie's going insane
green day's wondering where she went
im wondering where my marias been
i wanna meet a girl named maria
so i can write a song like everyone else
shes got to be my maria
and not belong her heart to anyone else
my maria
i do need a melody like her to be sweet
my maria
but the words of the song mean everything to me
with these thoughts that were coming to mind about a song i wanna write
i did not see all that would happen to me in the next few days of my life
to my delight i find this girl this beautiful stephanie coming my way
but then she tells me ... mariyas her real name
pre chorus
chorus
gypsy lady in the sun
man i want to find me one
you say she fell in love in east LA
what about here where i stay
these lyrics flow pen to paper like a premanition drempt up in the dark
am i dreaming or is this girl trying get inside my heart
reciprocity is what we have from what i can see
its a delicate thing a tight rope line
i hope i dont screw it up this time
i met a girl name maria
she aint like anyone else
you better believe me
shes so beautiful
