The song popped into my head as soon as my alarm clock went off yesterday. Why? I'm usually sleepting at midnight. I guess you could call this wonderful snow we are getting an oasis. That song is like how old? 1974. 8 years younger than I. For those who are curious - like anyone ever reads this anyway....
Midnight At The Oasis
Lyrics: David Nichtern
Music: David Nichtern
Played by the Jerry with the Great American String Band in 1974.
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our head
Heaven's holding a half moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune Real soon
To kick up a little dust
Oh, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'til the evening ends
'Til the evening ends
You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer Romancer
And you can be my sheik
I know your daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him
They all send himJump at his beck and call
But you won't need no harem, honey
When I am by your side
And you won't need no camel
Oh no When I take you for a ride
Oh, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'til the evening ends
'Til the evening ends
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
