Judy Collins - Morocco

I ^Cdreamed that I saw you once, ^Fdown in Morocco Your ^Cclothes were so old they were ^Fnew You ^Cspoke to the Bedouins ^Fin their own language Of ^Csilver and crimson and ^Fblue They ^Amsaid that your singing had ^Caltered their vision And ^Fyet nothing really had ^Gchanged The ^Dmdust from the desert rose ^Fup from your eyelids You ^Csaid you had conquered the ^Gchains

The ^Cwhite wind around us, as ^Fwe stood there talking Was ^Cblowing the stars from the ^Fsky I ^Csaid make the beauty you ^Fmade long ago And the ^Cdervishes whirled while you ^Fcried You said, "^AmHold me against you, the ^Cweather is calling My ^Fmind is the colour of ^Gstone" And ^DmI wrapped the ^Cgreen silk a^Fround your thin body And ^Cknew you would never come ^Ghome

The ^Fwind and the ^Gsky and the ^Csun in your ^Ameyes Was ^Fdriving you ^Cmad, I could ^Gsee And ^Dmin any ^Clanguage, I ^Fknew they were saying The ^Cfuture is cutting us ^Gfree

We ^Cwalked in the desert, your ^Fhands were like velvet You ^Ctold me the reason you’d ^Fstayed And ^Call of the women whose ^Fhearts had been broken Stood ^Cnaked and cool in the ^Fshade The ^Ammen in the village were ^Ccalled to their worship Their ^Fcolours had started to ^Gfade The ^Dmshelter of ^Cheaven had ^Flifted forever Their ^Ceyes turned the colour of ^Gjade

The ^Fwind and the ^Gsky and the ^Csun in your ^Ameyes Was ^Fdriving you ^Cmad, I could ^Gsee And ^Dmin any ^Clanguage, I ^Fknew they were saying The ^Cfuture was cutting us ^Gfree

I ^Cleft to fly back to the ^Fplace I was sleeping Where ^Call of my dreams had been ^Flost ^CI wrote your name down on the ^Fback of a postcard And ^Cfinally I counted the ^Fcost The ^Amdemons and devils, the ^Csaints and the angels Had ^Fgathered to show me the ^Gview And ^Dmall of the ^Ctears that had ^Fcome when I met you Were ^Cshining and bright like the ^Gdew

The ^Fwind and the ^Gmoon and the ^Csun in my ^Ameyes Was ^Fdriving me ^Cmad, I could ^Gsee And ^Dmin any ^Clanguage, I ^Fknew they were saying The ^Cfuture was cutting us ^Gfree
