Maria, Let Him Go

from Tui by James Constable

/

lyrics

You shout, you fight, you're making light
Of the trouble that I see around the bend
You say that you can make him right
But you yourself have a broken heart to mend

So don't say that you are sorry
Avoid the mess that he will make
In a couple of weeks or sooner, you will know
Maria, let him go

He holds you close, but more than most
There's something that he's hiding beneath the skin
He'll raise a glass just to make no toast
I'd hate to see a person like him win your heart over

So don't say that you are sorry
Avoid the mess that he will make
In a couple of weeks or sooner, you will know
Maria, let him go

You preach the words that you have heard
You gather around the gaslight of his speech
He runs a class that's so absurd
There are some lessons a man should never teach
AND YOU'VE BEEN STUDENT TO NUMBER ONE

So don't say that you are sorry
Avoid the mess that he will make
In a couple of weeks or sooner, you will know
Maria, let him go
