lyrics

I saw her in the corner of a crowded smoke-filled room
We were not looking for each other, she was listening while I was playing a tune
Over in Hermosa one night I met a sweet kindred soul
It was a mystic encounter like I knew her from the days of old

Me and my ol' lady we had a fight just the other day, aow
That's when I met Alicia, sweet Alicia came my way-ee-ay
That thing with my ol' lady made me get down on my knees and pray...prayer was answered...
Along came Alicia took all my sadness away, whoo -whoo-whoo-whoo-hey!

Too much tension in the valley so I went over the hill to the sea-ee-ea
Where this Hermosa Beach mermaid she was waiting at the Lighthouse for me

Her smile, those eyes, ooh they are so sincere
Those beautiful blue-green eyes they hit I right away
And as I looked a little deeper I saw traces of some pain, Lord
For every ray of sunshine there's a drop of rain

Her hair was flaming red as a child, turned sandy-blonde by sun and sea-ea
She has a playful pit-bull for a pet, answers to the name of "Jibby"

She's just a beach-girl, a simple beach-girl through and through, ah
And yet a when I was feeling blue she knew just what to do, ah, yeah
It's her nature to nurture and in her arms you just don't feel the cold, oh no
It wasn't no play-game girl, we touched heart and soul

We touched heart and soul, sweet Alicia, ah we touched heart and soul, want you to know 'Licia, hey!
We touched heart and soul, sweet Alicia, hey, a we touched heart and soul, aaw
We touched heart and soul, can you feel it hey girl, ow, a we touched heart and soul
We touched heart and soul, I've got to go, I've got to go
We touched heart and soul, I've got to go, I've got to go
We touched heart and soul, I've got to go, I've got to...
