The Nits
Walking With Maria
(1999)
I am walking with Maria on a cold winter's day
I'm dressed in black second hand clothes
She's wearing a blue winter coat, C&A
The river is your stillborn child
Seagulls in a purple sky
We walk from the light into the darkness
Hands like ice, feet like ice
(1959)
I was walking with Maria on a warm summer's day
She was wearing her dress with the yellow flowers
Me in my blue jacket, C&A
The river was a newborn child
Mother's milk and butterflies
We ran from the darkness into the light
Hand in hand to the swimming pool
I dreamed last night I was drowning
But now I will swim
And I won't be afraid
(1999)
The river is a frozen sheet
An old man lying underneath
We walk from the light into the dark
A million stars, one yellow moon
I will die, maybe soon
I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid
