Sage Leaves and Blonde Sand

In the gloomy decaying summer nights
Sleighs of sleep race to our death
Until the bleak lights of september
Pierce the thin silken curtains
When the sun turns cold and blue
The deceitful longing starts again
Leisure makes time pass
Suffering makes it freeze

The sage colored leaves of the olive trees
Dance like shining pearly satin
In the scorching waves of the wind
I will wish to see them again

The walk we could have had in that breeze
To me, we walked forever

I shall sleep now
I have a pillow here
Made from the prayers of the believers

I see cherries in the darkness
In this heat there is redemption
I left my thoughts in Tangiers
Like the gritty landscape of Mars

Swarms of blonde sand
Unveil the forbidden apetites

Now the sun rose
I remember the calm town
I wish we were there

It rejects me like an unfinished book
Then we shall decide
To set our nomad horses
Suddenly, life has new meaning.
