Rupert Holmes - Bagdad lyrics

Last night I found myself in Bagdad once again And the minarets were icy blue against the dawn's green light No love I did not ask just how I came or when I could only wonder were you there with me to sleep the night I walked the streets of Bagdad searching for your face But the ancient city walls held no one in their lost command So love I called your name within the marketplace And my echo woke me back to morning's red and golden head And oh you were there with my pillow touching your velvet hair And so as I'd slept you'd been near Last night I dreamt my strange recurring dream again Where the scarlet evening moon still hovered over Bagdad's night Oh love I found myself alone but even then I was sure I'd find your body near me come the morning light And oh you were there with your sandy eyes and a sleepy stare And though I had dreamt you were here So love if I tonight should die before the dawn And I find myself in Bagdad lost within an empty sleep No love I will not feel alone though life has gone For I know you'll be beside me even as the dark grows deep
