Gene Pitney Maria Elena Lyrics

Maria Elena Lyrics

There`s a cottage in the village in the country 
I have learned to love 
And every night the curfew rings  
And people sing their prayers to heaven above 
 
In the cottage there lives a girl 
Who`s crying for she can see 
Soldiers marching away to war 
They`re fighting to be free 
 
Maria Elena I`m going away to war 
I`m going to fight I may not be back again 
Maria Elena I love you forever more 
Please say it`s alright you`ll stay by my side `till dawn 
 
I remember moonlit nights 
And dancing in the streets `till break of day 
Yes I remember how it was 
No one would separate us come what may 
 
Like a dream it dissolves away 
And morning will soon be here 
Revolution has come our way 
I`m warning you now dear 
 
(2x fading on 2nd) 
Maria Elena I`m going away to war 
I`m going to fight I may not be back again 
Maria Elena I love you forever more 
Please say it`s alright you`ll stay by my side `till dawn
