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
