lyrics

The Bedouin moon
shone on the world’s most lonely man.
He was wandering in the desert
when he found an abandoned city in the sand.
It had silver streams and fruit trees
that bent their heavy branches to his hand.
He thanked the angel of his loneliness
for bringing him into the promised land.

Without solitude,
love won’t follow you.
Love won’t follow you
on your long journey home.

Without solitude,
love will just swallow you.
And that’s why you and I
must learn to be alone.

The Bedouin moon
is shining in the teardrops in your eyes.
No, you don’t believe I love you,
and my promises don’t leave you satisfied.
There’s a place you want to take me,
but I can’t go there no matter how I try.
I guard the doorstep of your dreams
but I do not have the key to come inside.

Without solitude,
love won’t follow you.
Love won’t follow you
on your long journey home.

Without solitude,
love will just swallow you.
And that’s why you and I
must learn to be alone.
