00:06I wrote this song in England. I'd been over there. I was opening. I had some concerts I could do
00:17over there even though I didn't have a record or anything and so I also got lent an apartment.
00:23And so I had a place to stay. But this girl had been lent the apartment at the same time
00:30and actually I knew this girl. She's a really beautiful, beautiful woman. I didn't really know her very well but
00:37I'm not going to tell you this story.
00:45What am I thinking of? It was a really good time and it lasted for about, you know, I was
00:53only going to be there for about a week and in that week it, you know, like life broke down
00:58to some pretty simple, simple elemental things and time went away, you know.
01:12There was an earthquake in California. I didn't feel a thing.
01:36There was an earthquake in the city. You know, I was only going to be there for about a month.
01:40I was only going to be there for about a month in the笑old. I was only going to be there
01:46for about a month in the 1930s.
01:46Remember what they're for
01:49The world outside is tugging
01:52Like a beggar at my sleeve
01:55Oh, that's much too old
01:58A story to believe
02:03And you know
02:05That it's taking a share of me
02:10Even though
02:12You take such good care of me
02:18And you say Morocco
02:20And that makes me smile
02:24I haven't seen Morocco
02:27For a long, long while
02:32Dreams are rolling down
02:34Across the places in my mind
02:39And I've just had a taste
02:42Of something fun
02:56The future hides
02:59And the past just flies
03:00England lies between
03:04Floating in a silver mist
03:07So cold and so clean
03:12California's shaking
03:13Like an angry child will
03:16Who has asked for love
03:19And is unanswered still
03:24And you know
03:26That I'm looking back carefully
03:31Cause I know
03:34That there's still something
03:36There for me
03:39But you said Morocco
03:42And you made me smile
03:45And it hasn't been that easy
03:49In a long, long while
03:52Looking back into your eyes
03:57I saw them really shine
03:59Giving me a taste
04:03Of something fun
04:06Something fun
04:22Now if you see Morocco
04:24I know you'll go in style
04:28I may not catch Morocco
04:32For a living one
04:36But while you're there
04:37I was hoping
04:38You might keep it in your mind
04:42To save me
04:44Just a taste
04:45Of something fun
04:49Something fun
04:51Ooh
