lyrics

Sweet Maria, with your raven hair,
You tear me up with a glance

When I see ya, and I won't you dear
See you dancing quick and pretty
Sipping goon and talking politics
Your eyes so blue, your curves so true
Your smile delightful darlin', I wanna hold you
But my hands are on fire

And you don't know how
You don't know how

Rachael honey, you're too good for me,
But I'd never tell you that

You're a drinker, but you're never drunk
You tell me stories they fall like rain
And I am thirsty as a dying man
You guide me through this city, barroom angel at my side
I wanna hold you
But you slide out of reach

And you don't know how
You don't know how

I've been split in two from longing for you
And longing for you
I've been split in three from longing for thee,
And longing for thee, and longing for thee
I've been split in four just longing for more
C'mon gimme some more

Little Layna, with your tender eyes,
You've got a way with me

You're still a stranger after all this time
You're a mystery to me
And I'm addicted to the inquiry
I'm older than you darlin', but I know you're always schooling me
And I'm eager; I'll kneel at your feet

And you don't know how
You don't know how

There's time enough I feel
And there's too little time to say there isn't
There's love enough I feel
It shows too little love to say there isn't
And all these wounds will heal
There's life enough, don't say there isn't

I've been split in two from longing for you
And longing for you
I've been split in three from longing for thee,
And longing for thee, and longing for thee
I've been split in four just longing for more
C'mon gimme some more
