[Quicksilver Daydreams of[00:00:00]
Well the diamonds fades quickly when matched to the face of Maria[00:00:04]
All the harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the sky[00:00:12]
The brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfall[00:00:22]
That spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes[00:00:31]
Well she stands all around me her hands slowly sifting the sunshine[00:00:41]
All the laughter that linger down deep 'neath her smilin' is free[00:00:50]
Well it spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morning[00:00:59]
And caresses the south wind and silently sails to the sea[00:01:09]
Ah the sculpter stands stricken and the artist he throws away his brushes[00:01:18]
When her image comes dancin' the sun she turns sullen with shame[00:01:28]
And the birds they go silent the wind stops his sad mournful singing[00:01:37]
When the trees of the forest start gently to whisper'in her name[00:01:46]
So as softly she wanders I'll desperately follow her footsteps[00:01:56]
And I'll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sight[00:02:05]
Ah they promise eternally that she lays hidden within them[00:02:14]
But I find they've decieved me and sadly I bid them goodbye[00:02:24]
So the serpent slide softly away with these moments of laughter[00:02:33]
And the the old washy woman has finish her cleanin' and gone[00:02:42]
But the bamboo hang heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreams[00:02:52]
And a lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong[00:03:01]
