Sahara Gold

Dance music from the corner bar Over dogs barking at

a passing car And your hair tumbles down like sahara gold



Hot night -- streets are full of life Carnival faces

in rembrandt light And your hair tumbles down like sahara gold



Half moon shining through the blind Paints a vision

of a different kind And your hair tumbles down like sahara gold



Wet limbs striped with silver light Locked together

at the centre of the night And your hair tumbles down like sahara gold



Night bloom filling up the room With the salt and musk

of lovers' rich perfume And your hair tumbles down like sahara gold



Animal grins and wild shining eyes Laughing and shouting

we're a hundred storeys high And your hair tumbles down like sahara gold
