Tea in the Sahara

Al principio no me gustaba esta canción, pero después uno le encuentra el gusto, y más aun cuando la anécdota es que Sting siempre le gritaba a Copeland que el ritmo tenía que ser más lento cuando la tocaban en vivo...
inspirada en el libro "The Sheltering Sky" de Paul Bowles, llevada al cine con Debra Winger y John Malkovich.





Tea In The Sahara

My sisters and I
Have this wish before we die
And it may sound strange
As if our minds are deranged
Please don't ask us why
Beneath the sheltering sky
We have this strange obsession
You have the means in your possession

Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you

The young man agreed
He would satisfy their need
So they danced for his pleasure
With a joy you could not measure
They would wait for him here
The same place every year
Beneath the sheltering sky
Across the desert he would fly

Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you

The sky turned to black
Would he ever come back
They would climb a high dune
They would pray to the moon
But he'd never return
So the sisters would burn
As their eyes searched the land
With their cups still full of sand

Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
