Skint & Demoralised - Maria, Full Of Grace lyrics

I saw the beauty in her eyes And though I searched, I could not recognise a soul Well she was blind from compromise And as she talked, I recognised that time had taken toll And she would stop herself from smiling But the bottle was beguiling She's satisfied in silence as she sits And she's satisfied with silence ‘cause it fits Oh yeah, it fits I saw the sadness in her sighs And as I watch, I know she tries to make amends I've seen the days that she'll despise, inconspicuous disguise And time had taken toll on her wits And you would never hear her laughter Here on in or ever after She's satisfied in silence as she sits And she's satisfied with silence ‘cause it fits Oh yeah, it fits ‘cause when I saw my sweet Maria She was lonesome and afraid And through the night-time she was crying on the pillow as she said And though she longs for me to free her No more a mistress than a maid She would stop herself from trying ‘cause she was lonesome and afraid I saw the weakness in her words And though she'd speak, I never heard it from her heart And they were often quite absurd, it's just the way that she preferred As time had slowly taken her apart And she would stop herself from speaking Of the freedom she was seeking She's satisfied in silence as she sits And she's satisfied with silence ‘cause it fits Oh yeah, it fits I saw the darkness in her days And she would spend her time just gazing at the wall And her friends would say it's just a phase, and plod-along with old clichès As time had taken toll I saw the curtains were concealing She was certain of the feeling She's terrified in silence as she sits But she's satisfied with silence ‘cause it fits Oh yeah, it fits ‘cause when I saw my sweet Maria She was lonesome and afraid And through the night-time she was crying on the pillow as she said And though she longs for me to free her No more a mistress than a maid She would stop herself from trying ‘cause she was lonesome and afraid
