That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine Without hearing what I have to say We too feel alone Therever been all the time Lost enslaved fatal decline I've been waiting for this too fool (Good) The pieces are only as good as the whole Severed

I don't wanna do that again I've been all over the place I watched the strawberry fields Dry up and wither away And if you ask me to stay You know that's where I will be Don't wanna do that again I'll never do that again

I'mma say today's my day Today's the day I've been waiting for Tomorrow won't come after all Yesterday is so far away And today is the only day Somebody please stop the clock Don't ever let this day stop I never wanna go home

My Maria (Oh Maria I love you girl, oh my Maria) Maria (Oh Maria I love you girl, Maria) I love you My Maria don't you know I've come a long, long way I been longin' to see her When she's around she takes my blues away Sweet Maria the sunlight surely

Too much love will kill you Yes, too much love will kill you I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be Too many bitter tears are raining down on me I'm far away from home And I've been facing this alone For much too long Oh, I feel like no-one ever
