Phil Ochs - Celia Lyrics
Pre>Capo 1st fretIntro:f g cG f cWhen the wind from the island is rollin through the treesG f cWhen a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breezeF em f cThats when I wonder how sad a man can be.F g7 c f cOh, when will celia come to me?I still remember the mountains of the warSierra madre and the philipino shoreWhen will I lie beside my celia neath the trees?Oh, when will celia come to me?So many years were stolen, so many years are goneAnd the vision of my celia make dreams to dream uponEach hour is a day filled with memories.Oh, when will celia come to me?I wake each morning and I watch the sun ariseWonder if my celia sleeps, wonder if she criesIf hate must be my prison lock, love must be the keyOh, when will celia come to me?The guns have stopped their firing, you may wander through the hillsThey kept my celia through the war, they keep her from me still.She waits upon island now, a prisoner of the sea.Oh, when will celia come to me?When the wind from the island is rolling through the treesWhen a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breezeThats when I wonder how sad a man can be.Oh, when will celia come to me?Oh, when will celia come to me? /pre>
