Camilla by the Sea
I met you a-many-a-summers ago when I saw you up a small clif You were dancing bare feet on the tips of your toes And I was a-smoking a spliff
Oh Camilla, oh stranger who lives by the sea so plain and playful and free Oh Camilla, my love in a house by the sea Are you still a-dancing for me?
You were a-many-a-moons older than me But aged like good whiskey or wine And love doesn’t know any age for god’s sake So, that night I made you a-mine
Oh Camilla, oh Woman who lives by the sea So ripe and ready and free Oh Camilla, my love in a house by the sea Are you still a-fancy me?
We spent a-many-a-tides of our time Foremost in the bed at your house We knew from the start this would come to an end When I would return to my a-spouse
Oh Camilla, oh Lady who lives by the sea so wild and willing and free Oh Camilla, my love in a house by the sea Are you still a-pitying me
I thought a-many-a-suns of my life What happened to my gal at the coast Is she still enjoying her time And is she still a comforting host
Oh Camilla, oh hermit who lives by the sea so kind and caring and free Oh Camilla, my love in a house by the sea Are you still a-waiting for me
I saw a-many-a-clouds ago When I sat at your house at the waves Camilla blossoms grew all about A- surrounding the edge of your grave
Oh Camilla, oh Flower who lays by the sea so patient and peaceful and free Oh Camilla, my love in a house by the sea I will remember a-thee I will remember a-thee
