The Calla Lily Song

Just a calla lily soaking up the mornin’
Silly me, I’m underneath the awning
Just waiting for the rain to fall
So it can pass and I can walk away
From all her sweet love and adoring

There’s times you know your heart is overflowing
Like in the spring when all the grass is growing
And the robin and the whippoorwill
All day and night can eat their fill
And all the nights when the moon is up and glowing
And I think it’s fine
I think it’s fine
That she’s mine

I like to walk along the meadow in the evenings
It’s something that I do that’s worth repeating
Sometimes the wind is mellow
And the stars go on forever
And the thrush inside the nettle are a’sleeping

You see in the city everyone’s a walker
And Myrtle takes you down to Knickerbocker
Well that is where I paid my dues
And everyone checks out your shoes
Oh man, it’s hard to shake the blues when you got ‘em
So I think it’s fine
I think it’s fine
That she’s mine

Well it’s times like these I think of her a little
The window up and second from the middle
And when the light is on
She’s probably sittin’ there alone
Just a playin’ a little song upon her fiddle
And I think it’s fine
I think it’s fine
That she’s mine
