We Shone

We shone through our day of dust and heat
One lasting flaw- one Petty gain
We dreamed a little dream and made a wish
Then picked it clean
Then hungered again
Maria, you are my love
Maria, have we found our gravy train
To lose or to win is all the same
If you’re not here — and I can’t see
Who knows what we are or where we go
Flower of love
How sweet you grow
Maria, you are my love
Maria, have we found our gravy train
Maria, you are my love tonight
And though phantoms haunt our lives
They’ll go
And though phantoms haunt our lives
They’ll go
