Townes Van Zandt - (Quicksilver Daydreams of) Maria video free download

Denny Hanley

Well, the diamond fades quickly when matched to the face of mariaAll the harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the skyThe brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfallThat spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyesWell, she stands all around me her hands slowly sifting the sunshineAll the laughter that lingers down deep 'neath her smilin' is freeWell, it spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morningAnd caresses the south wind and silently sails to the seaAh, the sculptor stands stricken and the artist he throws away his brushesWhen her image comes dancin' the sun she turns sullen with shameAnd the birds they go silent and the wind stops his sad mournful singingWhen the trees of the forest start gently to whisper'in her nameSo as softly she wanders I'll desperately follow her footstepsAnd I'll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sightAh, they promise eternally that she lays hidden within themBut I find they've deceived me and sadly I bid them goodbyeSo the serpent slides softly away with his moments of laughterAnd the old washer woman has finish her cleanin' and goneBut the bamboo hangs heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreamsAnd a lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong

"So as softly she wanders, I'll desperately follow her footsteps,And I'll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sigh.They promise eternally that she lies hidden within them,But I find they've deceived me and sadly I bid them goodbye."
