Morocco

  C                            F
I dreamed that I saw you once, down in Morocco
     C                             F
Your clothes were so old they were new
    C                     F
You spoke to the Bedouins in their own language
   C                      F
Of silver and crimson and blue
     Am                         C
They said that your singing had altered their vision
    F                      G
And yet nothing really had changed
    Dm                        F
The dust from the desert rose up from your eyelids
    C                          G
You said you had conquered the chains

    C                        F
The white wind around us, as we stood there talking
    C                          F
Was blowing the stars from the sky
  C                        F
I said make the beauty you made long ago
        C                           F
And the dervishes whirled while you cried
           Am                       C
You said, "Hold me against you, the weather is calling
   F                     G
My mind is the colour of stone"
    Dm            C           F
And I wrapped the green silk around your thin body
    C                         G
And knew you would never come home

    F            G           C           Am
The wind and the sky and the sun in your eyes
    F           C            G
Was driving you mad, I could see
    Dm     C           F
And in any language, I knew they were saying
    C                    G
The future is cutting us free

   C                          F
We walked in the desert, your hands were like velvet
    C                        F
You told me the reason you’d stayed
    C                      F
And all of the women whose hearts had been broken
      C                     F
Stood naked and cool in the shade
    Am                      C
The men in the village were called to their worship
      F                      G
Their colours had started to fade
    Dm         C          F
The shelter of heaven had lifted forever
      C                         G
Their eyes turned the colour of jade

    F            G           C           Am
The wind and the sky and the sun in your eyes
    F           C            G
Was driving you mad, I could see
    Dm     C           F
And in any language, I knew they were saying
    C                     G
The future was cutting us free

  C                       F
I left to fly back to the place I was sleeping
      C                         F
Where all of my dreams had been lost
C                             F
I wrote your name down on the back of a postcard
    C                     F
And finally I counted the cost
    Am                     C
The demons and devils, the saints and the angels
    F                       G
Had gathered to show me the view
    Dm         C              F
And all of the tears that had come when I met you
     C                           G
Were shining and bright like the dew

    F            G            C         Am
The wind and the moon and the sun in my eyes
    F          C            G
Was driving me mad, I could see
    Dm     C           F
And in any language, I knew they were saying
    C                     G
The future was cutting us free
