about
Originally on the album "Overhead the Stars"
lyrics
Many miles from land and miles from my lover
I find myself thinking about honour
Thinking that maybe the rules are different here
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
I am wearing her coat and she is wearing mine
I have stolen her cigarette and I’ve lost track of the time
Over our heads the stars begin to shine
For the Santa Isabel and Julia
She tells me she’s studying medicine, oh, but I just study her face
My eyes follow her hand as it slips across her waist
I understand how it’s easy to stray
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
For I am tempted and curious and drunk upon her glow
I wonder if there is anywhere quiet where we might go
What harm could come from one little kiss
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
Somewhere in a mind that’s swimming with whiskey
There flashes an image of somebody dear to me
Her face, once clear, is fading from me
What is happening to my memory?
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
It is too late now, she has fallen to sleep
I carefully cover her, from her shoulders to her feet
I kiss her once and I whisper pleasant dreams
And I turn out the light
On the Santa Isabel and Julia
I find myself thinking about honour
Thinking that maybe the rules are different here
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
I am wearing her coat and she is wearing mine
I have stolen her cigarette and I’ve lost track of the time
Over our heads the stars begin to shine
For the Santa Isabel and Julia
She tells me she’s studying medicine, oh, but I just study her face
My eyes follow her hand as it slips across her waist
I understand how it’s easy to stray
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
For I am tempted and curious and drunk upon her glow
I wonder if there is anywhere quiet where we might go
What harm could come from one little kiss
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
Somewhere in a mind that’s swimming with whiskey
There flashes an image of somebody dear to me
Her face, once clear, is fading from me
What is happening to my memory?
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
On the Santa Isabel with Julia
It is too late now, she has fallen to sleep
I carefully cover her, from her shoulders to her feet
I kiss her once and I whisper pleasant dreams
And I turn out the light
On the Santa Isabel and Julia
