She comes and she goes She travels in whispers She's known by her name, not by her face The lady that cleans up the place She visits your life on mondays and thursdays But not on a birthday, when the family is there She will take care of your ways The lady that cleans up the place She meets the remains The books and the pictures The shoes in the kitchen You're all around But she will be gone The minute she's finished The love she put in it That's where she's found Maybe it's strange But this is the way Maria is living her life day to day Maybe it's odd, but is is her lot A home becomes her own She comes and she goes, travels in whispers Sure you will miss her, if you send her away A silent goodbye She's just a bit homesick But knows that it won't stick She will get by Maybe it's strange But this is the way Maria is living her life day to day Maybe it's odd, but is is her lot A home becomes her own Your home becomes her own
