ALI BABA

In the dead of the night 
Ali Baba came in
Like a thief in a jar 
Where? Where?
Hush hush hush 
the dark of the night
The thief is here.

Princess Princess hide your beauty
The thief in the night
Will steal your longing.

O songs of love 
and songs of desire
So deep, so much I yearn 
sang Ali Baba,
I long for your golden skin
that smells like cherries,
All your seven ethers 
magenta to blue.
Shades of colours, 
drifts of perfume,
And music of my soul, your voice,
Your voice shudders down my spine,
said Ali Baba.

Who are the dark thieves 
in the jars of oil,
They cannot steal 
your beauty or my longing.
And the night owl 
in the garden sings
'we are each other'.
You steal my love 
and I am gone for ever,
sang Ali Baba.
