Promise To Maria (words & music by Roy Evan Burstiner)
Trying to take the road from the city
Somewhere past the rising towers
We'll pack our bags & we'll leave this place
In the wild confusion of hours
​
Riches wait for those who wander
Thru the wind & the rain
Leave behind all your tears & sorrows
I will ease your pain
​
Gonna get my fortunes from the gypsy
Get her dress these dreams of mine
& I'll promise my Maria
Show her what we'll see
We'll take this road to the edge of our destiny
​
Riding fast on the wings of wheels
Cruising down that highway five
All our dreams in our backpacks waiting
Notebooks of the reason & rhymes
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Listen to the words of the gypsy
As she tells us what will be
& she promises Maria
That her dreams will be
As we take the road to the edge of our destiny
​
Get behind our tomorrow journey
Of all our wishes & dreams
As we pass on by the future signpost
Maria...just wait & see
