about

A song evoking the desert as home of the free-spirits. A soulful journey paced by the captivating rhythms of tabla and udu drums.

lyrics

When the city falls asleep
And wine numbs the mind
When the heavy beat of the clock
Drums into our lives
We move into a slow dance
Let our hearts open wide
They are prisoners of our times
We roam untamed, tonight

[Chorus]
Together we’ll walk under a desert sky
See wild horses running in the night
Free spirits dancing in the dark
Wake the child we left behind and let her (him) dream aloud
Hear southern wind bring gypsy songs
That flower like a soul on fire

When evening light floats in
Through the curtain lace, we’ll know
And the street lamps in the ivy-shadows play
Let’s move tonight
Let’s move into a dream world
And recapture yesterday

[Repeat Chorus]

These golden fields, we’re older now
The wind is young, and we know these roads
Our hearts are full, the forest breathes
With shoes untied, …
Let’s go explore,
This stretch of land, in white and rose

We follow footsteps of long ago
