On the clay bowl,
I keep your name
Blue fig slices and salt on my tongue
You came like rain
through the palm grove shade My hands were empty,
now
they hold the sky
Stay with me, stay with me Under the blue fig moon
Stay with me, stay with me My home is in your tune (ooh-ooh)
I crossed the sand
with a quiet step
Carried my sorrow in a copper cup
You lit the room
with your steady
eyes
Like lantern oil on the edge of night
Stay with me, stay with me
Under the blue fig moon
Stay with me,
stay with me My home is in
your tune
(stay with me)
If dawn comes early,
I will still remain
In the olive quiet,
in the incense haze
Stay with me,
stay with me
Soft as the desert rain
Stay with me,
stay with me
Call me by that name (ooh-ooh)
