Many miles from land and miles from my lover I find myself thinking about honour Thinking that maybe the rules are different here On the Santa Isabel with Julia I am wearing her coat and she is wearing mine I have stolen her cigarette and I've lost track of the time Over our heads the stars begin to shine For the Santa Isabel and Julia She tells me she's studying medicine, oh, but I just study her face My eyes follow her hand as it slips across her waist I understand how it's easy to stray On the Santa Isabel with Julia For I am tempted and curious and drunk upon her glow I wonder if there is anywhere quiet where we might go What harm could come from one little kiss On the Santa Isabel with Julia On the Santa Isabel with Julia Somewhere in a mind that's swimming with whiskey There flashes an image of somebody dear to me Her face, once clear, is fading from me What is happening to my memory? On the Santa Isabel with Julia On the Santa Isabel with Julia It is too late now, she has fallen to sleep I carefully cover her, from her shoulders to her feet I kiss her once and I whisper pleasant dreams And I turn out the light On the Santa Isabel and Julia
