Steve Forbert - Oh, Camille lyrics

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?" Oh, Camille, read all about it in my letter Oh, Camille 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 Oh, Camille, read all about it in my letter Oh, Camille 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
