Midnight At The Oasis - Maria Muldaur

Details

Description

Midnight at the oasis,
Send your camel to bed,
Shadows paintin' our faces,
Traces of romance in our heads,

Heaven's holdin' a half-moon,
Shinin' just for us,
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon,
And kick up a little dust,

Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, 'til the evenin' ends
'Til the evenin' ends

You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
And you can be my sheik

[Instrumental Interlude]

I know your Daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him
Jump at his beck and call

But you won't need no harem, honey
When I'm by your side
And you won't need no camel, no no
When I take you for a ride

Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, 'til the evenin' ends
'Til the evenin' ends

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows paintin' our faces
And traces of romance in our heads

Oh, come on...

Thank you for the gift of your music Maria. My mom also loved this song and thought the Sheikh ought to have been Omar Sharif (who starred in "Lawrence Of Arabia"), one of her favorite movie actors. This video is for her.

Sad announcement July 10, 2015. Egyptian actor Omar Sharif has made his transition into the Light at the age of 81, after suffering with a heart attack. Best known for his roles in Doctor Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia, both Epic movies for their time. R.I.P. Omar Sharif, you forever remain this world's beloved entertainment star. April 10, 1935 - July 10, 2015.*
