Looking For Galatea

On a weekend afternoon
never thought I'd hear from you.
As you slip along the edge
of a society that I once knew.

Headed to Auderebro.

I looked in the morning door
a smiling face like it was before
Her voice floating in the air
daylight in her golden hair.

Looking for Galatea.

I came down to the village green
near a grove of mystery.
Her kind voice by a camp fire flame
that's when I heard her call my name.

Headed to Auderebro.

All these years later on a high degree
I see I must have found the key.
I saw her picture yesterday
She's still smiling down at me.

Looking for Galatea.

On a weekend afternoon
never thought I'd hear from you.
As you sneak along the edge
the border line that I once knew.

Headed to Auderebro.
Looking for Galatea.
Headed to Auderebro.
Looking for Galatea.

I had hoped to review this lyric but this is probably going to be the
final version.

This is the section that used to rhyme, now doesn't:

"Headed to Auderebro,
looking for Galatea."

Tom Walsh, thanks for listening and commenting.
I got this critique from old musician friend from the Atlanta days, Jim
Pontius, currently of Las Vegas:



"This would be relatively easy to tighten up. The only problem I hear is
the groove is wandering a bit. If you nailed this down with some tight
drums and bass, it'd be just fine. There are ways to do this."
