Straight To My Heart Lyrics
Camel
I was born in '49,
in a family of four.
Father had his own band
just after the war.
My brother and I had a radio
and every night we'd share,
waves from Luxembourg
that came through the air.
Days were full of music
and nights were just the same.
And though the songs are different now
some things never change...
I can't explain the way I feel.
Why, even to this day,
I still love that sound of that red guitar.
It takes my breath away
and goes straight...
to my heart.
Straight to my heart.
Straight to my heart.
