Naomi

Naomi - C Walmsley

Naomi waited tables where I played in my first band
At The Ace of Clubs on Bay Road where a corn field used to stand
She carried trays of booze I studied every move
I was working up the nerve just to talk to her
And then one night Naomi she took me by the hand
Naomi took my hand

We parked out in that corn field I held her close to me
With the moonlight on the windshield I learned how love was meant to be
Just Naomi and me Our love was meant to be

Naomi’s daddy was a farmer, navy beans and soy
He didn’t want his daughter running with a long-haired boy
So she couldn’t bring me home
But we made time to be alone
It felt so real like we were made of steel
My whole world was Naomi, then Naomi went away
Her daddy made her go away

Now the sun is sinking low And it’s making me feel lonely
It’s time to start the show And I’m thinking about Naomi
I’m aching for Naomi

I’ve sung my songs on stages from Toronto to LA
Doesn’t matter what my age is, they still come to see me play
Some nights I’d trade all I have
To be back in that first band
Watching the way she swung those trays
If I could hold Naomi, hold her one more time today
If I could have her here today

Now the sun is sinking low And it’s making me feel lonely
Gotta go on with the show And I’m thinking about Naomi
Still dreaming about Naomi
We parked out in that corn field With the moonlight on the windshield
Naomi and me Our love was meant to be
