The papers lie there helplessly in a pile outside my door,
Go
I tried and tried, but I just can t remember what they re for.
The world outside is tugging like a beggar at my sleeve,
Go
Oh that s much too old a story to believe.
____
And you know that it s taken it s share of me,
Go
Even though you take such good care of me .
Now you say Morocco, and that makes me smile,
Go
I haven t seen Morocco in a long, long while.
____
The dreams are rolling down across the places in my mind,
Go C/G Go
And I ve just had a taste of something fine.
___
The future hides and the past just slides, England lies between,
Floating in a silver mist so cold and so clean.
California s shaking like an angry child will,
Who has asked for love and is unanswered still.
And you know that I m looking back carefully,
Cause I know that there s still something there for me.
But you said Morocco, and that made me smile,
It hasn t been that easy for a long, long while,
And looking back into your eyes I saw them really shine,
Giving me a taste of something fine,
Go
Something fine~~~~~~
____
Now if you see Morocco, I know you ll go in style
Go
I may not see Morocco, for a little while.
And while you re there I was hoping you might keep it in your mind,
Go Go
to save me just a taste of something fine.
