lyrics

Fly across the ocean
I’ll meet you at the station
Ride with me to city hall
Fall asleep on my shoulder
Dream of days to come
Weeks and months and years
Still I cook and clean
Follow close i’ll lead you to the end
————————————————
Winter comes to make us fight
And cry and scream and run away
You can take the house and car
And I will take an Asian
But each day I’ll say your name
Sing the sings we used to sing
Lie about how much I drink
I thought we’d be together til the end
————————————————
My hair is grey you’ve changed your name
Finally I swallow pride
Stalk your house and ring the bell
And pray the door will open
Maria I’m a fool
I wasted all that time
Chased you round the world
Please listen when I tell you that you’re
————————————————
More than just a green card
Sweeter than a visa
Warmer than miami sun
Time has told me you’re the one
————————————————
Repeat
