C			Fmaj7		C		F 
I dreamed that I saw you once down in Morocco 
C		Fmaj7		C		F 
Your clothes were so old they were new 
C		Fmaj7		C		F 
You spoke to the Bedouins in their own language 
C		Fmaj7		C		F 
Of silver and crimson and blue 
Am 
They said that your singing had altered their vision 
					    G 
And yet nothing really had changed 
F 
The dust from the desert rose up from your eyelids 
C						G 
You said you had conquered the chains 

The white wind around us as we stood there talking 
Was blowing the stars from the sky 
I said, 'make the beauty you made long ago' and the dervishes whirled while you cried 
You said 'hold me against you, the weather is calling, 
My mind is the colour of stone' 
And I wrapped the green silk around your thin body 
And knew you would never come home  

F                                            C 
The wind and the sun and the sky in your eyes 
F					G 
Was driving you mad I could see 
F 
And in any language I knew they were saying  
C				   G 
The future is cutting us free 

We walked in the desert; your hands were like velvet 
You told me the reason you'd stayed 
And all of the women whose hearts had been broken 
Stood naked and cool in the shade 
The men in the village were called to their worship 
Their colours had started to fade 
The shelter of heaven had lifted forever 
Their eyes were the colour of jade 

The wind and the sky 
And the sun in your eyes 
Was driving you mad I could see  
And in any language I knew they were saying 
The future was cutting us free 

I left to fly back to the place I was sleeping 
Where all of my dreams had been lost 
I wrote your name down on the back of a postcard 
And finally counted the cost 
Demons and devils, the saints and the angels 
That gathered to show me the view 
And all of the tears that had come when I met you 
Were shining and bright as the dew 

The wind and the moon and the sun in my eyes 
Were driving me mad I could see  
And in any language I knew they were saying 
The future was cutting us free 

F		G		Am 
Free-e	e	e	e-e-e 
F		G		C 
Free-e	e	e	e-e-e 
F		G		Am 
Free-e	e	e	e-e-e 
F		G		D 
Free-e	e	e	e.............
