Chloe (Song of the Swamp)
1928LYRICS
Chloe! Chloe!
Someone's calling, no reply
Nightshade's falling, hear him sigh
Chloe! Chloe!
Empty spaces meet his eyes,
Empty arms outstretched, he's crying
Through the black of night
I've got to go where you are
If it's wrong or right
I've got to go where you are
I'll roll through the dismal swamplands,
Searching for you
For if you are lost there
Let me be there too
Through the smoke and flame
I've got to go where you are
For no place can be too far
Where you are
Ain't no chains can bind you
If you live, I'll find you
Love is calling me
I've got to go where you are
SONG NOTES
The introductory verse sets the song from a straight perspective. Skip that and it's an oopsie gaysie.
The music was composed by Charles N. Daniels, writing under the pseudonym of Neil Morét.
