Bagdad

[00:27.83] Last night I found myself in Bagdad once again
[00:38.53] And the minarets were icy blue against the dawn's green light
[00:47.98] No love I did not ask just how I came or when
[01:01.15] I could only wonder, were you there with me to sleep the night?
[01:13.19] I walked the streets of Bagdad searching for your face
[01:23.44] But the ancient city walls held no one in their last command
[01:32.39] So love, I called your name within the marketplace
[01:44.87] And my echo woke me back to morning's red and golden head
[01:52.98] And oh, you were there with my pillow touching your velvet hair
[02:03.58] And so as I slept, you'd been near
[02:14.81] Ooh...
[02:20.33] Last night I dreamt my strange recurring dream again
[02:30.07] Where the scarlet evening moon still hovered over Bagdad's night
[02:38.86] Oh love, I found myself alone but even then
[02:51.16] I would sure had find your body near me come the morning light
[02:58.71] And oh, you were there with your sandy eyes and a sleepy stare
[03:08.94] And though I had dreamt you were here
[03:20.12] Ooh...
[03:25.57] So love, if I tonight should die before the dawn
[03:35.21] And I find myself in Bagdad lost within an empty sleep
[03:44.15] No love, I will not feel alone though life has gone
[03:56.48] For I know you'll be beside me even as the dark grows deep
[04:07.33]
