VERSE
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
CHORUS
Oh, Camille, read all about it in my letter
Oh, Camille ...
VERSE
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)
VERSE
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)
