Mysterious Days

Springtime in Tangier
The sky's getting wider
Renewing it's splendour
The word's getting brighter.

Setting out just like the sun
That's never seen the rain
Stepping out we're homeward bound
And never be the same.

Ah - we lay our hearts wide open
Ah - we live mysterious days
Ah - the spell cannot be broken
Ah - we live mysterious days.

American writers
Now work in the attic
Up in the Casbah
There's plenty to worship.

Shine again Arabian Moon
And be the guiding light
Life is changing like the dunes
Wandering in the night.

Sham Betoch Ha'arafel (over there, inside the fog)
Sham Karov Le'elohim (over there, close to God)
Sham, Sham, Sham Balev (over there, over there, over there in the heart).

Ah - we lay our hearts wide open
Ah - we live mysterious days
Ah - we spell cannot be broken
Ah - we live mysterious days.
