Santa Maria Lyrics

let me off this boat

i'm sick of this ride

the world is heading ever southward

and i can't stay in here



and you're lying awake

away on your side

the feeling comes in waves and burns us

and i don't want to die



from the slippery hands

to the line of your throat

the fever now consumes us both

in fire now we will go



santa maria

why did you have to go?

santa maria

one day we will know



in a bowing of heads

and a passing of hands

all we thought they'd understand

is lost and they won't know



and what have we left?

it's all that we've got

there is no 'x' to mark our spot

what's past is done and gone



santa maria

why did you have to burn?

santa maria

one day you will learn
