“My Little Queenie” – Another song about the mistakes we make and the “one that got away.” The video for this was shot in my hometown of Richmond, VA
lyrics
My Little Queenie
(Michael McAdam)
from my second story window, looking down on city park
she crossed the street at Laurel, by the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart
as a band played Little Queenie, out of tune but really loud
she crisscrossed at the fountain, and disappeared into the crowd
oh, my little queenie, i was just too young to understand
oh, my little queenie, i watched you slip right through my hands
she was last seen in Sedona, making turquoise jewelry there
with her little dog named Bijou, at the Verde Valley Fair
well, you can sit all day and wonder, why things don't turn out like they're planned
how the best laid dreams can vanish, like little castles in the sand
oh, my little queenie, i was just too young to understand
oh, my little queenie, i watched you slip between my hands
