Arabia lyrics

Song information

Artist: Peter Koppes
Album: The Well - Water Rites

Lyrics

Arabia

Docked in tangiers port at night
Heat drenched lights spread at a height
A young guide from the streets he'd fought
Spoke seven tongues though never taught

Arabia

Smoked a hashish cigarette
Chants float from a minaret
A kasbah winds its labyrinth
The coastal palace of a prince

Arabia

They're falling lightly, the veils of arabia
The veils of arabia

Arabia

Sabre dance in istanbul
Thieves around a pedestal
Harems held like nature's beasts
The desert boasts a genie's feats

Arabia

Teenage boys played on a beach
Though no girls, they're out of reach
Heritage, their fathers land
And law laid by their fathers' hand

Arabia
