Songtext von Araby

Tonight I'm dreaming of Araby That's where my dreams seem to carry me Where ev'rything is Oriental And ev'ryone is sentimental There in the shade of the shelt'ring palms I met a maiden fair I long to hold her gently in my arms Oh, how I wish I was there Araby, when shades of night appear I seem to hear you calling Araby, you seem to beckon and I reckon I'll be hurrying back again Seems to me A maiden's face appears I see her tears are falling Falling because I left her there That's why I long to be Where all those happy faces Wait for me Beside the fair oasis Soon, you'll see Within a caravan An Arab man will take me Over the desert back to Araby Someday you'll find me in Araby Where someone's waiting to marry me I can't forget the day we parted She said I left her broken hearted I helped her on to a camel's back Before she rode away She made me promise that I would come back I'll keep my promise someday
