They're waking up Maria 'cause everybody else has got some place to go.
She makes a little motion with her head, rolls over,
And says she's gonna sleep for a couple minutes more.

I said I'm sorry to Maria for all the cold-hearted things that I have done.
I've said I'm sorry, by now, at least once to just about everyone.

She says, "I've forgotten what I'm supposed to do today
              And it slips my mind what I'm supposed to say.
              I'm getting older and older and older
              And always a little further out of the way."

You look into her eyes and it's more than your heart will allow.
In August and everything after you get a little less than you expected somehow.
