Song language: English
Aqaba |
| A man, lost in time and space, adrift in his dreaming |
| While like an Arab steed the motorcycle flying on |
| Past the English fields, the misty morning hedgerow |
| The wind in the wire weeds, the warm sirocco sighing |
| Ch: Aqaba, all my life turns on you |
| All my life returns to you |
| Out of the silent wastes, no friends, no quarter |
| The blood is up, the senses race, the last dawn is breaking |
| And over the sleeping host, the unsuspecting shadows |
| Grim as a desert ghost to the pale ride awaiting |
| Now your eyes are turned from me, I shall surprise you |
| Turn your faces to the sea, I shall come riding |
| Down from the desert sands that glorious morning |
| Oh what a deadly dance drummed out of hiding |
| The puppies bobbing on the tide, the blood in the sand dunes |
| The sun dying in the sky, the black shades falling |
| Over the dead of night, the church bells tolling |
| The owl in his silent flight, the desert wind calling |
