Blues For Allah lyrics
Song information
Artist: Grateful Dead
Album: Blues For Allah
Lyrics
Arabian wind, the needle's eye is thin, the ships of state sail on mirage
And drown in sand, out in no-man's land where allah does command
What good is spilling blood? it will not grow a thing;
Taste eternity the swords sing: blues of allah in 'sh'allah
They lie where they fall, there's nothing more to say
The desert stars are bright tonight lets meet as friends
The flower of islam, the fruit of abraham
The thousand stories have come round to one again
Arabian night, our gods pursue their fight
What fatal flowers of darkness spring from seeds of light
Bird of paradise fly in white sky, blues for allah in 'sh'allah
Let's see with our heart, these things our eyes have seen
And know the truth must still lie somewhere in between
Under eternity, under eternity, under eternity blue
Bird of paradise fly in white sky, blues for allah in 'sh'allah
