Tangier Midnight

Verse 1

Mint leaves crushed in a silver cup

Watch the coastal breeze pick the linen up

Mosaic blue on the terrace floor

Left our heavy shoes by the cedar door

Orange blossom thick in the evening heat

Distant rhythm rising from the market street

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who we were before tonight

Spinning in the halo of the lantern light

Chorus

Caught inside the Tangier midnight heat

Two bare shadows in the alley street

Salt on your shoulder, cedar in the air

Wild and young with not a single care

Caught inside the Tangier midnight heat

Verse 2

Copper tray balanced on the stone settee

Looking past the harbour to the open sea

Strings of a lute from the courtyard low

Striking up a pulse that we already know

You pull me in with a reckless grin

Letting all the magic of the summer win

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who we were before tonight

Spinning in the halo of the lantern light

Chorus

Caught inside the Tangier midnight heat

Two bare shadows in the alley street

Salt on your shoulder, cedar in the air

Wild and young with not a single care

Caught inside the Tangier midnight heat

Bridge

Let the tide roll in, let the bells chime slow

We got hours before the dark lets go

No yesterday pulling on our sleeve

Just a summer night that makes us both believe

Chorus

Caught inside the Tangier midnight heat

Two bare shadows in the alley street

Salt on your shoulder, cedar in the air

Wild and young with not a single care

Caught inside the Tangier midnight heat
