Cairo - Then You Were Gone lyrics

And from a deeper sleep I was awakened Hours yet until sunrise An eerie whisper called me to a strange new place I'd known long ago And as the swirling clouds grew calm before me Unearthly beauty filled my mind Suddenly from inside, I felt your touch Like the warming sun, and I knew that I must Follow your steps - search all the world just to find you ... Then you were gone In the dusty heat of Moroccan streets I thought I saw your raven eyes But after tripping through the crowded market stalls Not a trace of you could I find My heart was pounding as I ran down narrow alleyways Mountains and desert sands I've journeyed in vain The very thought of you commands my soul and I have Followed your steps, so many times I thought I had found you ... Then you were gone I would cross raging fire for you I could climb to the sky As if on fabled streets of burnished gold Through ancient dreams I've wandered Have I been hypnotized, as I've staggered on Through city and wilderness My life will never ... never, never be the same I followed your steps So many times I thought I had found you Then you were gone I would cross raging fire for you I could climb to the sky
