Charmaine
lyrics by Sharmagne Leland-St.John
music by Hedges Capers


The scent of roses in full bloom
Lingers on inside our room
The patchwork spread
On the old brass bed
Kept us warm last winter
Your Granny's bent-wood rockin' chair
Dust and memories everywhere
Tear my heart in two
A shadow caught by candle flame
The mountain echoes back your name
Oh, Charmaine
I miss the way that I feel
When you're beside me
There's a love so deep inside me
I was half believin'
That you'd give it one more try
But you said good-bye
And I was half believin'
That you'd give me one more try


for Paul Rothchild
