Something Fine Lyrics - Leo Sayer

Papers lie there helplessly 

In a pile outside the door 

I tried and tried, but I just can't remember 

What they're for 

The world outside is tugging 

Like a beggar at my sleep 

Ah, that's much too old 

A story to believe 

And you know 

That it's taken it's share of me 

Even though 

You take such good care of me 

Now, you say Morocco 

And that makes me smile 

I haven't seen Morocco 

For a long, long while 

The dreams are rolling down 

Across the places in my mind 

And I've just had 

A taste of something fine 

The future hides and the past just slides 

England lies between 

Floating in a silver mist 

So cold and so clean 

And California's shaking 

Like some angry child will 

Who has asked for love 

And isn't answered still 

And you know 

That I'm looking back carefully 

'Cause I know 

That there's still something there for me 

But you said Morocco 

And it made me smile 

And it hasn't been that easy 

For a long, long while 

And looking back into your eyes 

I saw them really shine 

Giving me a taste 

Of something fine, something fine 

Now, if you see Morocco 

I know you'll go in style 

I may not see Morocco 

For a little while 

But while you're there 

I was hoping you might keep it in your mind 

To save me just a taste 

Of something fine
