about

When you lose a newly bought hand built quality from Karsten Görbig in Bremen, Germany, be ultra careful when attaching it to your motorbike in case it should fall off on the way through Holland. Thanks to Nina Tearney and Bert Krijnders for getting the wondrous beast back to me. Forever grateful.

lyrics

CECILIA
by Ian M. Bruce

Once upon a Bremer backstreet time
I saw her in the window.
Once upon a wish that she’d be mine
I felt myself drawn in-o

My heart beat fast. My eyes were wide.
I wanted her so much - o.
Nervously I stepped inside
And asked if I could touch - o.

LOVE! At first sight
I wrapped my arms around her.
She stayed with me all night.

I’m in love with a sweet young thing.
She fairly caught my eye - o.
And when she made the bells to ring
I could not pass her by - o.

Cecilia - Come home!
Celia - Come home!

Now on my knee she sang to me.
I stroked her oh so gently - o.
This blonde and me were meant to be.
We bonded evidently - o.
I asked if I might set her free?
She’s mine now incidentally - o.

Cecilia - Come home!
Celia - Come home!

I showed her everything I know.
House of the Rising Sun - o!
Sang of the boat that Michael rowed -
She joined in with the fun - o.

Cecilia - Come home!
Celia - Come home!

Well it broke my heart when o-so soon
She made a bid for freedom - o.
Sang her all my pretty tunes
It seems she didn’t need ‘em - o.
Get her home - Safe and sound!
I went riding on -o.
But when I chanced to look around
I found that she was gone - Oh!

I looked left, I looked right,
I looked all up and down - o.
I looked everywhere I might
I looked all around - o.
She was nowhere to be seen.
I went on my way - o.
Thinking how things might have been
Had she not gone astray - o.

LOVE! At first sight
I wish she'd wrapped around me
And held on to me tight.

I’m in love with a sweet young thing.
She fairly caught my eye - o.
And when she made the bells to ring.
I could not pass her by - o.

Cecilia - Please come home!
Celia - Please come home!

I headed home and I thought that
I would see her no more!
But I got home and Cecilia answered my door.
