I Sold the Arabs the Moon - David Lowery[00:00:00]
And I was the man who sold the Arabs the moon[00:00:20]
The Emirate Princes their hands manicured[00:00:30]
Their servants with luggage they followed behind[00:00:40]
The African concubines regal and tall[00:00:50]
And I was the man who sold the Arabs the moon[00:01:00]
They festooned their flags with crescent moons[00:01:09]
And I was the man who sold the English the sea[00:01:30]
They wanted the afternoon breezes it bore[00:01:40]
The sweet smell of spices from over the sea[00:01:50]
The afternoon showers it brought during tea[00:01:59]
And I was the man who sold the English the sea[00:02:09]
I cowered before great battleship guns[00:02:17]
And I was the man who sold the Yankees the sky[00:02:48]
The black of the night and the blue of the day[00:02:58]
The endless horizon of hope and desire[00:03:07]
And I was the man who sold the Yankees the sky[00:03:17]
The English the sea[00:03:25]
The Arabs the moon[00:03:30]
