Verse 1
Clay jug cooling in the terrace shade
Promises we kept and the ones that fade
Copper bracelet clicking on your wrist
Valley waking in the amber mist
Pre-Chorus
Grey clouds roll across the heavy stone
Neither one of us will walk alone
Chorus
Let it wash the red dust from our hands
Cool water running down the thirsty sands
Say goodbye smiling through the Atlas rain
Everything we loved will come alive again
Verse 2
Dried figs wrapped up in a linen cloth
Flock of swallows flying to the north
Footsteps quiet on the courtyard tile
Turning all the sorrow to a sudden smile
Pre-Chorus
Grey clouds roll across the heavy stone
Neither one of us will walk alone
Chorus
Let it wash the red dust from our hands
Cool water running down the thirsty sands
Say goodbye smiling through the Atlas rain
Everything we loved will come alive again
Bridge
The road climbs steep where the cedar grows
Where the river starts nobody knows
Turn your collar up against the pouring sky
There is too much life to ever say goodbye
Chorus
Let it wash the red dust from our hands
Cool water running down the thirsty sands
Say goodbye smiling through the Atlas rain
Everything we loved will come alive again
