Maria

You were right, so right
I knew it all along
You could fix time itself
So how could you be wrong?

This window, this stone
My breath upon the night
Your face turned against the spires
As you left me there

Yes, you knew that the world didn't turn
As they said it had done all this time
You placed your eye against the glass
And told them twenty times - but they laughed
But I wanted you to know that I heard

You told of gravity, velocity
You handed me the sky
The true north of my compass
Was the clear gaze of your eye
You said I had a good mind
But we knew no one would care
So I hid my flesh and stowed my tongue
And gave myself to prayer

But yes, we knew that the world didn't turn
As they said it had done all this time.
You showed them mountains on the moon
Celestial bodies never known
But I wanted just to say that I heard

The world doesn't turn around us, no
The world doesn't turn around us, no

You placed your eye against the glass
And told them twenty times, but they laughed
But I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
You said the earth went round the sun
And they tied you up and stilled your tongue
But I wanted you to know
That I heard
