Maria Elena

"Inspired by song Maria Elena, performed by Ry Cooder and by Him, the one that makes my heart sing"

The sweetest thing begins with the guitar

Twangy and slow

Fingers supple on the strings

A song he has not known

The melody begins

Rhythm starts to flow 

I begin to fall into him

Under his fingers

He pulls with no relent

The horns start

Deep and strong like a man

I begin to feel the tears within

He exposes my soul

He touches, reaches in

Piercing depths so low

I begin to moan

Fingers on the piano keys

Deliberate and slow

He makes my body sing

Makes my insides glow

I begin to cry

In crescendo highs

The sweetest fever consumes me

The sweetest love 

I begin to know
