I've come across the desert 
To greet you with a smile 
My camel looks so tired 
It's hardly worth my while 
To tell you of my travels 
Across the golden East 
I see your preparations 
Invite me first to feast

Take me I'm yours 
Because dreams are made of this 
Forever there'll be 
A heaven in your kiss 

Amusing belly dancers 
Distract me from my wine 
Across Tibetian mountains 
Are memories of mine 
I've stood some ghostly moments 
With natives in the hills 
Recorded here on paper 
My chills and thrills and spills 

It's really been some welcome 
You never seem to change 
A grape to tempt your leisure 
Romantic gestures strange 
My eagle flies tomorrow 
It's a game I treasure dear 
To seek the helpless future 
My love at last I'm here
