Peter Koppes Arabia Lyrics

Arabia 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
