v1: let me off this boat
 i'm sick of this ride.
 the world is heading ever southward
 and i can't stay in here.
 and you're lying awake,
 away on your side.
 the sickness comes in waves and burns us
 and i don't wanna die!
 from the slippery hands
 to the line of your throat
 the fever now consumes us both
 in fire, now, we will go!

chorus: santa maria,
 why did you have to go?
 santa maria,
 one day you will know.

v2: from the bowing of heads
 and the passing through hands
 and all i hoped you'd understand
 is lost and you don't know.
 and so what have we left?
 'cos it's all that we've got.
 there'll be no 'X' to mark our spot.
 what's past is done and gone.

chorus: santa maria,
 why did you have to burn?
 santa maria,
 one day you will learn.

*buildup* {lasts a couple of minutes}

chorus: santa maria,
 why did you have to go?
 santa maria,
 one day you will know...

*outro - G, violin solo, etc.*
