Morocco Lyrics - Bohemian - Judy Collins

I dreamed that I saw you 

once down in Morocco 

Your clothes were so old 

they were new 

You spoke to the Bedouins 

In their own language 

Of silver and crimson and blue 

They said that your singing 

Had altered their vision 

and yet nothing really had changed 

The dust from the desert 

rose up from your eyelids 

You said you had conquered 

the chains

The white wind around us 

as we stood there talking 

Was blowing the stars 

from the sky 

I said "make the beauty 

you made long ago" 

and the dervishes whirled 

while you cried 

You said "hold me against you, 

the weather is calling, 

My mind is the color of stone" 

And I wrapped the green silk 

around your thin body 

And knew you would 

never come home 

Photos 

Thewind and the sun 

and the sky inyour eyes 

Was driving you mad I could see 

And in any language 

I knew they were saying 

The future is cutting us free 

We walked in the desert 

Your hands were like velvet 

You told me the reason 

You'd stayed 

And all of the women 

Whose hearts had been broken 

Stood naked and cool 

in the shade 

The men in the village 

were called to their worship 

Their colors had started to fade 

The shelter of heaven 

had lifted forever 

Their eyes were the color of jade 

The wind and the sky 

And the sun in your eyes 

Was driving you mad I could see 

And in any language 

I knew they were saying 

The future was cutting us free 

I left to fly back to the place 

I was sleeping 

Where all of my dreams 

had been lost 

I wrote your name down 

On the back of a postcard 

And finally counted the cost 

Demons and devils 

The saints and the angels 

That gathered to show 

me the view 

And all of the tears that 

had come when I met you 

Were shining and bright 

as the dew 

The wind and the moon 

and the sun in my eyes 

We're driving me mad I could see and in any language I knew 

I knew they were saying 

The future was cutting us free 

Free 

Free 

Free 

Free
