Camel (Not Black Or White But Camel)
He rubbed his hands together and it sounded like
Folding a love letter into an envelope
I couldn't look him in the eye try as I might
He was wearing an overcoat made of camel colored smoke
I vaguely remember our history where we were close
Trying to shake this feeling that he's someone else
Never before has hollow seem so verbose
He was wearing an overcoat made of camel colored smoke
Was it his or was it mine I guess the fault lies with us both
No, I was hurt but to be true I always saw the end
Right from the beginning
Maybe that makes me guilty of everything my friend
I hope you can forgive me
He was wearing an overcoat made of camel colored smoke
You must live somewhere else now, I do not want to know
You must love someone else now, I do not want to know
You must be someone else now, I do not want to know
I hope you can forgive me
We talked a while politely then we hugged goodnight
I felt desires upon me as I walked toward home
I turned in saw him standing in fluorescent light
He was wearing an overcoat made of camel colored smoke
Was it yours or was it mine I guess the fault lies with us both
Camello (No Negro Ni Blanco Sino Camello)
Se frotó las manos juntas y sonó como
Doblando una carta de amor en un sobre
No pude mirarlo a los ojos, lo intenté
Llevaba un sobretodo hecho de humo color camello
Recuerdo vagamente nuestra historia cuando estábamos cerca
Tratando de sacudir esta sensación de que es otra persona
Nunca antes lo hueco pareció tan prolijo
Llevaba un sobretodo hecho de humo color camello
¿Era suyo o era mío? Supongo que la culpa recae en ambos
No, estaba herido pero para ser sincero siempre vi el final
Desde el principio
Quizás eso me hace culpable de todo, amigo mío
Espero que puedas perdonarme
Llevaba un sobretodo hecho de humo color camello
Debes vivir en otro lugar ahora, no quiero saber
Debes amar a alguien más ahora, no quiero saber
Debes ser otra persona ahora, no quiero saber
Espero que puedas perdonarme
Hablamos un rato cortésmente y luego nos abrazamos al despedirnos
Sentí deseos sobre mí mientras caminaba hacia casa
Me di la vuelta y lo vi parado bajo la luz fluorescente
Llevaba un sobretodo hecho de humo color camello
¿Era tuyo o era mío? Supongo que la culpa recae en ambos
