Lady Fantasy

Lady Fantasy is one of the earlier songs of Camel and it is rather long. I found several video's of that song, but it just did not sound as it did in my memory.

But finally I found one that, although it did not sound exactly as I remember, was really exciting to see.

It is a very old recording, 1976 it shows somewhere, but how very wonderful to see them all play here. At some point you can just watch Andrew Latimer make the guitar weep.

The whole video is a real beauty, although it is uploaded in 3 parts. This one really goes through all kind of moods all the time. Especially at the end of part one I really like the sudden change.

Listen very carefully, my words are about to unfold

Concerning a lady I've seen but I never could hold

I can see by your smile,

Take a long while,

The words that come through,

I see that they're true,

For she reminds me of you.

Don't misunderstand me, it's not always easy to say

The words in your head and your heart that you just can't explain

I can see clearly,

A face in the sky,

Moon's in your eye,

You're passing me by.

Tell me the reason why.

I can see clearly,

A face in the sky,

Moon's in your eye,

You're passing me by.

Saw you riding on a moon cloud,

Saw you walking on a whirlpool,

From the corner of my eye,

I saw you.

Saw you sitting on a sunbeam,

In the middle of my daydream,

Oh my Lady Fantasy,

I love you.
