Mary Louise (Uit Liefde Voor Muziek)

I once set out for a far away coast
Drawn by tales of mountains of gold
The stars were silent, the waves were rough
And the mountains I found were baren and cold
Now the light is fading and the day's done
And the roads got me down to my knees
I lift my head to the bloodred sky
And long for the smile of Mary Louise

I was sent of to a far away, let to believe it would set us all free
I fell in and followed,
I carried my weight, until one day the truth hit on me
Now nothing can comfort my troubled
mind, no prayer will cure my disease
I turned my eyes to the empty sky and long for the arms of Mary Louise

Sometimes I think of my far away home,
where I know every crack and every old stone
Where I traded my treasures for a long
lost dream, an endless trail I must walk alone
Now the ship has sailed the day's
done and the roads got me down to my knees
I lift my head to the bloodred sky
and long for the smile of Mary Louise
I turn my eyes to the empty sky and remember the love of Mary Louise
