Shadow of Arabian Night

Her melancholic voice echoes through the dessert
Her feet tap on the sand
The dark gloom of Arabia survives in her soul
Yet each night she starts a new journey on this land

Songs of joy, love and happiness
She sings softly under her veil
But the somber side of her who can see?
Who can tell her heart is stale?

Her words, softly sung
Reaches far across to the sea
But no one can hear her desires
No one can hear what she really wants to be

On a dark night
Her lonely soul started to wander
So with the winds she walked along
Only to find out that her lover no longer wants her

On her long walk back
She remembered old memories, some happy and some sad
Her heart filled with pain
And the thought of losing the only love she ever had

On that night, her eyes had filled an ocean
But no one could see a single drop of tear
In her world of darkness
She screamed with pain yet no one could hear

She hid her black colored heart with a smile
Yet the the feeling of happiness on her face was absent
She sung night and day
Hoping that the pain gifted from him would keep silent

From then on each night she would start her journey
The only companion being her shadow
In search of another man who would color her heart red
And the feeling of love he would show
