Oh, Camille - Steve Forbert

Burnin' candles, watchin' shadows

Long hours melt away in spider town

Sultry ev’nings, whisperin' windows

I sit and listen to the rain come down

Oh, Camille, read all about it in my letter

Oh, Camille …

Howlin' wolves out chasin' deer make

Dark, ugly pictures for my soul to see

Pale pianos leave me wond’rin'

«How go these nights of yours in Italy?»

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Took a walk down flights of stairs, I

Went out to wander where the rain has been

Saw a madman preachin' tombstones

I’m feelin' better 'bout the shape I’m in

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE

Ain’t got no jokes to tell

Just lotsa books to read

Wild hearts an' traffic sounds

All poundin' ev’rywhere

It’s electricity

It’s flowin' into me

I am at home in here

These blues are right for me

(INSTRUMENTAL OUT)
