Hey, Camille

One fine day I dreamt I was a groom

I was handsome clean and shaved

For a fine man I must’ve stepped in something good that day

to call this sweet bride for my own

She floated to me with her father by her side

my friends helped me from the floor

as we traded promises ‘neath those yellow Aspen trees

uncertainty plagued this man no more

Hey, Camille

won’t you come inside

pay your mind to me

I’ve been waiting all my life for you to set me free

Eyes turned to rain as you dried up all my pain

our mouths trembled poetry from our hearts

Upon hearing chains hit the ground as our lips broke the silence

blue eyed preacher declared a fresh start

Then the waves rolled in

swept us off together

past the most beautiful souls in the hole

I’ve yet to wake up

though I grin as that same current

carries us idyllically along

Hey, Camille

won’t you come inside

pay your mind to me

I’ve been waiting all my life for you to set me free

From time to time

You know she goes away

But she’ll be back, you’ll see

Hey, Camille won’t you come inside

And put your hands on me (3x)

Hey, Camille

won’t you come inside
