Lyrics for Song: The Desert Song
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Strawbs



Strawbs - The Desert Song



The night was ablaze

With the light of a thousand memories

Your eyes were on fire

With the light of a million stars

The clouds went sailing past the moon

Like silver-winged flamingoes

And then he kissed you

Goodnight.



The eyes of your desert prince

Had held you spellbound

You could feel the full heat of the sun

Across his back

He dragged you to his Bedouin tent

This rapid Valentino

And then he kissed you

Goodnight.



You had tasted the fruits

Of his privately owned oasis

He had drugged your wine

Massaged you with perfumed oils

He drank deep at the well

Until you fell back in surrender

And then he kissed you

Goodnight.



The ceaselessly shifting sands

Have erased his footprints

You are left with his jewelled dagger

In your hand

Your face still glows with pleasure

As you linger in the sunset

Until I kiss you

Until I kiss you

Goodnight.
