When Bouzoukis Played

Well, I've got nothing to be ashamed of
Love's been a little bit hard on me
If I shy away, it's only because
Love's been a little bit hard on me

Love's been a little
Oh, you know it's been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on me
Love's been a little
Just a little, little
Love's been a little bit hard on me

Come out, come out
To a hopeless romance inside, inside
It's alright, it's alright
To stay so dark, so close to the light

Come out, come out
To a hopeless romance inside, inside
It's alright, it's alright
To stay so dark, so close to the light

I'll be back when I come to be
Love's been a little bit hard on me
And I'll see you around in a thousand years
Love's been a little bit hard on me

Love's been a little
You know it's just been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on me

So goodbye, Venice, goodbye
I must leave you to die
Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
I must leave you to die
Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
I must leave you to die
Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
I must leave you to die
Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
Goodbye, my love

Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
I must leave you to die
Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
Goodbye, my love

Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
I must leave you to die
Goodbye, Venice, goodbye
Goodbye, my love
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, hush, Maria
They say it's best, they say
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, Maria
It had to end this way
Who's going to tell Maria he won't return?
Who's going to tell Maria that love can burn?
Tell her that love so simple could never be
Tell her that she was looking, but could not see
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, hush, Maria
They say it's best, they say
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, Maria
It had to end this way
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, hush, Maria
Who's going to tell Maria and tell her so?
Tell them he loved a man that never was
Who's going to tell Maria he won't be home?
He was the kind of man no one could own
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, hush, Maria
They say it's best, they say
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, Maria
It had to end this way
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, Maria
They say it's best, they say
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, Maria
It had to end this way
Hush, hush, Maria
Hush, Maria
They say it's best, they say
