When the wind blows and you're pushin' back the tides of time
You must remember dreams come true
Words are hanging round my heavy head like long goodbyes
And it all comes back to you
Oh, and I am never gonna tear you down
If you let me fight for you, I will lay my body down
For Mariel, I will break those walls of stone
Mariel, I know your wild heart yearns to go
Mariel, why do you take the hard way home?
Slow the steady wind that carried you so far away
Won't you have a change of heart?
If I could stop the rain from fallin' down I would somehow
But the easy things are hard
Oh, and time is never gonna change my mind
I'll be there when it all falls down
You can run ten thousand miles
Mariel, I could break those walls of stone
Mariel, I know your wild heart yearns to go
Mariel, why do you take the hard way home?
Oh, yeah, you hurt so hard, but I could help
Mariel, oh, I could help
Mariel, I could break those walls of stone
Mariel, I know your wild heart yearns to go
Mariel, why do you take the hard way home?
I could help you, I could help
Mariel
It's such a long, long way to go all alone
Ooh, Mariel, my Mariel
Mariel
