It's been a while now, since I've seen the rain
It's been a while now, since I've seen the rain
I've seen the clouds above my head
Felt the winds, but they've all been warm
No hearts have lately been torn
Since you've been born
It's been a while now, since there's been a storm
It's been a while now, since there's been a storm
Yes I walk with my head high
In the skies I dwell
Been in heaven, I can tell
Since you've been born
Since you've been born
My sweet Maria
My sweet Maria
It's hard to see you cry
It's hard to see you fall
It's hard to lie to you
When I know you can't have it all
It's been a while now, since I've seen the rain
It's been a while now, since I've seen the rain
But the rain's gonna come from the clear blue sky
Out of the corner of ones eye
Then we'll take our feathers and fly
Back home, back home
My sweet Maria
My sweet Maria
My sweet Maria
My sweet Maria
My sweet Maria
My sweet Maria
Maria
