Hey Maria by Andrew Cash

Hey Maria
Can I come on by
I know it's late,
But I just got to see you
Hey Maria I've been wondering why
We just let what we had die
We thought we had so much time
We were chasing things
That kinda made us smile

Hey Maria
I'm near your house and I just can't walk by
Hey Maria I hear you're fine and now you're married
So your sister tells me
And he treats you right and he makes you smile
And he keeps you warm all through the night

Hey Maria don't get me wrong
I didn't call you up to sing that same old song
Hey Maria, I don't know why
But I'm near your house and I just can't walk by
So many games that we played
So many things got in our way
So many words we couldn't say
So much pretending that we weren't afraid

Hey Maria can I come on by
I know it's late
But I've just got to see you
Hey Maria I'm standing here
Going over things
Year by year
I led the blame on me and you
But now I know it was more than just us two
Hey Maria, I don't know why
But I'm near your house and I just can't walk by
So many games that we played
So many things got in our way
So many words we couldn't say
So much pretending that we weren't afraid

Just to clarify this song....It was played prior to the Tragically Hip's closing set at the 1993 Kubaya festival. Gord came out and joined Andrew Cash (Andrew Cash played on the 1993 Another Roadside Attraction band lineup and was great to do this song, then the Hip sealed the deal with one of the best 5 song sets they've ever played. I was lucky enough to not only be a part of the audience, but also have a younger sister who could be bribed to record the entire broadcast at home while I was at the show......it's been a while since this has been seeded, but the Cash/Downie & Hip's performance can be seen here:

This was my VHS to DVD transfer from my sister's recordings Again, one of my favourite (albeit short) live recordings of the Hip.....enjoy!
