Lady Fantasy

On the lines of the immediately last post, another 70s favorite tune of mine from the progressive rock group Camel’s classic album, Mirage. I love Camel’s works, especially the self titled debut album, Mirage and the Snowgoose. Here’s Lady Fantasy.

Listen very carefully, my words are about to unfold
Concerning a lady I’ve seen but I never could hold
I can see by your smile
Take a long while
The words that come through
I see that they’re true
For she reminds me of you.

Don’t misunderstand me, it’s not always easy to say
The words in your head and your heart that you just can’t explain
I can see clearly
A face in the sky
Moon’s in your eye
You’re passing me by
Tell me the reason why

I can see clearly
A face in the sky
Moon’s in your eye
You’re passing me by

Saw you riding on a moon cloud
Saw you walking on a whirlpool
From the corner of my eye
I saw you

Saw you sitting on a sunbeam
In the middle of my daydream
Oh my Lady Fantasy
I love you.
