Lebanese Night (concert version)
It was late in a Lebanese restaurantIn the heat of a Lebanese nightThere was dancing, people were singingShe came in from the garden outside
And in her eyes I saw the starsAnd I felt something happen in my heart
Then I knew I was going to meet herIn the heat of a Lebanese nightAnd the girl inside the womanWho came over to sit by my side
When she smiled, the whole world stoppedIt was then I heard the echoes of a child
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullabyAnd the sound of the guns in the night?And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your lifeFrom the hell that came down from the skyOn a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night?
We went down to the edge of the waterBy the light of a Lebanese dawnAnd she told me all the storiesOf her beautiful land in the war
Her tears fell down, the sun came upAnd I saw again the young girl in her eyes
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullabyAnd the sound of the guns in the night?And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your lifeFrom the hell the came down from the skyOn a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night?
All of my life, all I have known,Only a place where peace cannot goAll over the world, the gift from beforeNothing is left for the children of war
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullabyAnd the sound of the guns in the night?And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your lifeFrom the hell that came down from the skyOn a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night?
