song list next song Camel: Letter V Camel: Camel (25th Anniversary Compilation) Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: Pressure Points - Live In Concert Camel: I Can See Your House From Here Wait
(Latimer/John McBurnie)
You're looking nervous at the dealer
Money goes like sand
Slipping through your hands
You're leaving everything behind you
Wave it all goodbye
I can hear you cry

Chorus :
  Wait - don't think about it
  Wait - it's never too late
  Wait - don't worry 'bout it
  Wait - leave it all to fate
  Wait

Oh no this game is like a nightmare
There can be no doubt
Luck has done me out
I'm only searching for the right time
Money on the line
I can hear you cry

Wait, wait, wait, wait

Chorus

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
song list next song previous song Camel: Coming Of Age Camel: Harbour Of Tears Watching The Bobbins
(Latimer/Hoover)
Watching the bobbins, go up and down.
Fine Irish linen for a ladies gown.

One shirt a penny, seven in a tag;
Ten hours a day and her heart begins to drag.

This never ending cycle goes on.
But she promised she would never stay...
For long.

Rocking the treadle, ache in her soul.
She keeps the rhythm and it takes a toll.

Threading the needle, strains in her eyes.
Old withered fingers steal her young girl's pride

She's saving every penny she earns,
Because the passion for her freedom
Still burns.

(Latimer/Hoover)
Feel a chill in the dark, twilight falls.
Feel the beat of your heart, danger calls.

Up to the rooftop, out in the rain... Oh yeah

Well I'm planning it out, day by day.
There's no room for doubt, just one way.

Chorus :
  Up to the rooftop, out in the rain... Oh yeah

  And I'm looking out over West Berlin.
  Feeling freer now than I've ever been.
  When the sun sets over West Berlin,
  I'll be leaving,
  I can't come back again.
  And I'm looking out over West Berlin,
  West Berlin.

In the flood of the light, safety will shine.
We'll be high out of sight, on steel cable line.

Up to the rooftop, out in the rain... Oh yeah
And I'm looking out over West Berlin.
Feeling freer now than I've ever been.
When the sun sets over West Berlin,
I'll be free again

Chorus

song list next song previous song Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: I Can See Your House From Here Who We Are
(Latimer)
Hotel rooms, sleeping loosely
In this strange life I lead
Occasional friends, likewise lovers
Never wanting what I need

If you could be, here close to me
I know - Oh

Chorus :
  Love, we were meant for each other
  We will love one another
  And it won't really matter at all
  Who we are

Wake-up calls in the morning
The empty night fades away
You're still there, I'm still thinking
Words I always meant to say

If you could be, here we could see
I know - Oh

Chorus     (x3)

Who we are...
song list Camel: Letter X previous song Camel: Breathless Wing And A Prayer
(Latimer/Bardens)
High rise blocks out the gloom
The pavement sticks like glue
You're getting nowhere
Hitch a ride on a wing and a prayer

You're crying out loud
A face lost in the crowd
A voice no-one can hear
You'll get by on a wing and a prayer

Chorus :
  So let it be
  Let the breeze carry you to the sea
  Let the wind take you where it will go

You better believe it
Love is everywhere                      Rhyme, under no doubt
And then you can feel it
You're halfway there
                                        Feels like you're gonna drown
It's just another lovesong
Ain't no big thing                      Reach out, no one's there
Once you get the feelin'
Make you wanna sing
Just hold on to a wing and a prayer

It's just a little homegrown
There lights'll be                      Life, smoke in the air
Take it or leave it, it comes for free
                                        You'll slowly slip away
It's just another love song
Ain't no big thing                      All senses prevail
Once you got the feelin'
Makes you wanna sing
You'll fly home on a wing and a prayer

Chorus

                                        Now
You better believe it
Love is everywhere                      You wonder how why
Now you can feel it
You're halfway there
                                        ??????
It's just another love song
Ain't no big thing                      You can fly everywhere
Once you got the feelin'
Makes you wanna sing
If you trust to a wing and a prayer

Chorus

Just another love song, ain't no big thing
Once you got the feelin', make you wanna sing
Just another homegrown, there lots of things
Take it or leave it, it comes for free
If you trust to a wing and a prayer

You better believe it, love is everywhere
And if you can feel it, you're halfway there
Just another love song, ain't no big thing
Once you got the feelin', make you wanna sing
If you trust to a wing and a prayer

Just a little homegrown, there lights'll be
Take it or leave it, it comes for free
Just another love song, ain't no big thing...
