Oh, you know I have seen
a sky without sun
a man with no nation
Saints captive in chains
A song with no name
for lack of imagination

Ya he ya he ya la he
And I have seen
darker than ebony
Ya he ya he ya la he
And now it seems that I
with out your eyes could never be

My one desire
All I aspire is in your eyes
forever to live
Travelled all over the seven oceans
There is nothing that I wouldn’t give
Came from Bahrein
Got to Beriut
Looking for someone
comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
and i could not find eyes like yours

Oh, you know I have seen
A woman of means in rags
and begging for pleasure
Cross the river of salt
Just after I rode a ship that
sunk in the desert

Ya he ya he ya la he
And I have seen darker than ebony
Ya he ya he ya la he
And now it seems that I without your eyes
Could never be
My one desire all I espire
is in your eyes forever to live
Travelled all over
the seven oceans
there is nothing that I wouldn’t give
Came from Bahrein got to Beirut
Looking for some one comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors and I could
not find eyes like yours
