Camden What's in a name? You'd think by any other name she Would smell as sweet Burst into my world Like an unplanned thing Because I had no name for her Until I saw Tender, frightened So uninlove with the light This trembling creature Revealed unto me Madeline Margaret I was her owner Until we mutually agreed While playing horsey She held my fate In her reigns Some unmarked day On the living room rug Where chafed knees began to frail. She was my owner Rebuffing any thought How she could steady herself Quell angst against a world Much more punitive than a father Now yielding to mother Who one day delivered There's been a change: No, she's not Madeline Margaret Anymore But some pierced, hooded creature Trolling about Still my plaything, buried Deep within that trembling Tender-calling, bleeding heart Just 'Camden' now I was not to be introduced The story will have an ending One day But who will I see Staring across a restaurant scene At me With love? The same contempt? For the man who released trills From a choked throat, when She became my owner Every time we say goodbye you're frozen in my mind as the child that you never will be, you never will be again. https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/17770/ ** Image ID #1155335 Unavailable ** ** Image ID #1289222 Unavailable ** ** Image ID #1295877 Unavailable ** |
