Almeria

She watches me where'er I go
Her forecasts never fail
There's nothing that she does not know
I'm sure she reads my mail
And when I feel I've lost my way
She brings me back to bear
Where all is good and none may say
There's aught as good as her

Woah Almeria!
You know you've got me wrong
Oh Almeria
Oh Almeria
You lead me on

Well I've been out on the highway
And I've walked a lonely trail
The voyage is the same
Beneath her very many veils
So lady if I leave you
On a hot and dusky morn
Do not rise about me
Let me disappear by dawn

Woah Almeria!
You know you've got me wrong
Oh Almeria
Oh Almeria
You lead me on

You know since you moved me
I've been waiting on your word

Well I've been chasing fortune
Since I kissed its ruddy cheek
Now people say I'm lucky
When I'm on a losing streak
It gets so bad sometimes
I go to church and I confess
Like the first thief on the cross
You pick the strangest ones to bless

Woah Almeria!
You know you've got me wrong
Oh Almeria
Oh Almeria
You lead me on
