Artist/Band: Al Stewart
Lyrics for Song: The world goes to Riyadh
Lyrics for Album: Life At The Roxy - LA 1981 [1997]



In a camel's eye far in a distant land

The sun comes up on sands of endless deserts

See tomorrow run by hand in hand with yesterday

Where once the time hung still forever

In the wink of an eye the veils are drawn

And shadows hurry away

And the world goes to Riyadh, today

See the light of the moon on the dunes

You almost feel the ghost of Lawrence riding by them

See the infidel run as the sabres flash,

The desert tribes come with the sun behind them

At the turn of a page see the moving finger

Writing new words to say

And the world goes to Riyadh, today

You can never be sure what the dawn will bring

So just be carefull how you choose your friends now

Every turn in the night of the wheel of fortune

Changes everything, don't loose your head now

Like a storm on the ocean, empires wax and wane

And crumble away

And the world goes to Riyadh, today
