Sea Wolf - O Maria! lyrics

Show me your stripes Said the zebra to The wicked spider In the morning dew I will provide For you shelter and wine If you can prove That you are of my kind" O ho Maria! I'd break my wooden bones for you You took my crystal heart And shook it through and through O ho Maria! You broke my brittle bones in two You shook your silver hair And sent me to the moon And then the spider Turned onto its back Displayed the colors In three neat tracks And said, when we go We go alone And so they crossed The windy field The spider provided By the zebra's heels And every bird From above did cry You will be bitten boy And you'll surely die O ho Maria! I'd break my wooden bones for you You took my crystal heart And shook it through and through O ho Maria! You broke my brittle bones in two You shook your silver hair And sent me to the moon We may be different Two sides of the same fence You bring your elegance And me my dumb strength You were so kind to me Beneath the willow trees You took my hand in yours And I got down on my knees They said I couldn't see it clear They said that it would disappear But when they came and sang their sermon It fell upon deaf ears Because I see but I cannot hear And I feel but I cannot fear And I knew you to be true When I saw you first come near O ho Maria! I'd break my wooden bones for you You took my crystal heart And shook it through and through O ho Maria! You broke my brittle bones in two You shook your silver hair And sent me to the moon O ho Maria! I'd do it all again for you
