Story Behind the Song
Some songs take no time at all to write, others can take a lifetime. Lead singer of Highway One, Glenn Lowe, had "Carmelita" folded up in his pocket for 10 years before completing. "I've written some songs in a day, but sometimes you have to give a song some creative space", he said. I'll say!
Lyrics
Now I'm old enough to know the prettier they get
The harder the struggle to make it worth the time you spent
But I'm young enough to feel a stirring inside
The way that she moves so light on her feet
Carmelita, Carmelita
I spent most of my life chasing women
That I thought could make everything all right
But I been living a lie
Still I keep hoping there's something different about you
Carmelita, Carmelita, Carmelita
More than infatuation, imagination running away
Should I make you mine, do you have the time
To take me where I want to be
Carmelita, Carmelita, Carmelita
Will it be you and me together
Will it be you and me forever
Carmelita, Carmelita, Carmelita
Carmelita, Carmelita
