MARÍA IN THE MIST

[Verse 1] He came home through the sea fog Salt on his sleeves The weight of a hard day Still clinging to him María saw him first Bare feet on the stones She ran through the shoreline Like she'd always known The world could be heavy The night could be long But she knew the road back To where he belonged [Pre-Chorus] And every storm inside him Lost another name Every time she held him Nothing stayed the same [Chorus] María, say yes María, don't hide Put your hand in mine And walk beside me María, stay close María, believe Where the tears have fallen Flowers still breathe [Verse 2] They built little kingdoms Out of ordinary days Coffee in the morning Laughter in the rain She could turn a silence Into something bright She could light a window In the deepest night And he learned forever Wasn't some grand thing It was all the small moments Love was willing to bring [Pre-Chorus] In her eyes he found it Everything he'd missed Like a harbor lantern Burning through the mist [Chorus] María, say yes María, don't hide Put your hand in mine And walk beside me María, stay close María, believe Where the tears have fallen Flowers still breathe [Bridge] Then winter came softly No warning bell No grand goodbye Just a chair left empty A coat on the wall A name in the quiet That answered no more March thirteenth Ten o'clock She walks to the shoreline The sea keeps its secrets The fog keeps its own But she still looks outward As if love comes home [Final Chorus] María, say yes María, say yes To the life we carried To the love that's left María, stay close María, believe Where the tears have fallen Flowers still breathe Where the tears have fallen Flowers still breathe [Outro] The sea rolls in slowly Salt on the wind And somewhere inside it She hears him again
