Oh, you know I have seen A woman of means and rags And begging for pleasure Crossed a river of salt The specter I rode The ship that sank In the desert
Ya he ya he ya la he And I have seen Darker than ebony Ya he ya he ya la he You know it seems that I Without your eyes Could never be
My one desire All I aspire Is in your eyes Forever to live Traveled all over Crossed lands and oceans There's nothing That I wouldn't give
Came from Bahrein Got to Beirut Looking for someone Comparing to you Tearing down Windows and doors And I could not Find eyes like yours
