With the light of a thousand memories
Your eyes were on fire
With the light of a million stars
The clouds went sailing past the moon
Like silver-winged flamingoes
And then he kissed you
Goodnight.
The eyes of your desert prince
Had held you spellbound
You could feel the full heat of the sun
Across his back
He dragged you to his Bedouin tent
This rapid Valentino
And then he kissed you
Goodnight.
You had tasted the fruits
Of his privately owned oasis
He had drugged your wine
Massaged you with perfumed oils
He drank deep at the well
Until you fell back in surrender
And then he kissed you
Goodnight.
The ceaselessly shifting sands
Have erased his footprints
You are left with his jewelled dagger
In your hand
Your face still glows with pleasure
As you linger in the sunset
Until I kiss you
Until I kiss you
Goodnight.
The night was ablaze With the light of a thousand memories Your eyes were on fire With the light of a million stars The clouds went sailing past the moon Like silver-winged flamingoes And then he kissed you Goodnight. The eyes of your desert prince Had held you spellbound You could feel the full heat of the sun Across his back He dragged you to his Bedouin tent This rapid Valentino And then he kissed you Goodnight. You had tasted the fruits Of his privately owned oasis He had drugged your wine Massaged you with perfumed oils He drank deep at the well Until you fell back in surrender And then he kissed you Goodnight. The ceaselessly shifting sands Have erased his footprints You are left with his jewelled dagger In your hand Your face still glows with pleasure As you linger in the sunset Until I kiss you Until I kiss you Goodnight.
