[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
