Oh Charna Lyrics by Wade Hemsworth

The Songs Of Wade Hemsworth

1995

[Verse 1]
Not last summer, but the summer before
A wild young woman knocked at my door
Not last summer, but the summer before
A wild young woman knocked at my door

[Verse 2]
And her saleswoman smile was coy
When she told me her crock
It was the best that money could buy
She had giveaway samples in a black pinafore

[Chorus]
Oh, Charna
Such a wild young woman, wild as a bird
On a wind through the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
That wild young woman
Oh, Charna
Sweeter than the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
And wild as a bird

[Verse 3]
It may have been the heat or my look of desolation
Why she did what she did on that five o' clock occasion
It may have been the heat or my look of desolation
Why she did what she did on that five o' clock occasion

[Verse 4]
She stepped in with a flounce and a scatter
And made herself at home
We sat down to supper
And she said she'd stay in town for her summer vacation

[Chorus]
Oh, Charna
Such a wild young woman, wild as a bird
On a wind through the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
That wild young woman
Oh, Charna
Sweeter than the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
And wild as a bird

[Verse 5]
First we were frolicsome, then we were shy
But we gathered momentum as the summer went by
First we were frolicsome, then we were shy
But we gathered up momentum as the summer went by

[Verse 6]
Our confusion of caresses
And welcome scratches
Head over heels amid quarrels and kisses
A flowing and an ebb, a shiver, a sigh

[Chorus]
Oh, Charna
Such a wild young woman, wild as a bird
On a wind through the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
That wild young woman
Oh, Charna
Sweeter than the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
And wild as a bird

[Verse 7]
I don't know how it happened, I don't care to say
How we quarrelled with each other on a cold Autumn day
I don't know how it happened, I don't care to say
How we quarrelled with each other on a cold Autumn day

[Verse 8]
And I guess I was to blame anyhow, whether
It was me or my horoscope
She, or the weather
It was good times gone, all gone astray

[Chorus]
Oh, Charna
Such a wild young woman, wild as a bird
On a wind through the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
That wild young woman
Oh, Charna
Sweeter than the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
And wild as a bird

[Verse 9]
Winter went by, many times I missed her
The wild young woman I met that summer
Winter went by, many times I missed her
The wild young woman I met that summer

[Verse 10]
Several seasons have come and gone
I think about her sometimes
It's been so long, now
It seems like a dream, but I'm grateful to remember

[Chorus]
Oh, Charna
Such a wild young woman, wild as a bird
On a wind through the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
That wild young woman
Oh, Charna
Sweeter than the meadow grass
Oh, Charna
And wild as a bird

[Outro]
Oh, Charna
That wild young woman
Oh, Charna
