Lyrics

THE ROOM

It's so cool
Bein' here with you
On this hazy, lazy, sun-filled afternoon
'Mid the hanging plants and incense
That dervish in your room
Drinking tea, weaving tapestries
On conversation's loom
Outside are worlds of sorrow and strife
Of loneliness and harm
You can hear it in the beggar's cry
And in the traffic's storm
But we can forget it all for now in this sanctum of your life
This sanctum of your room

So we blend and bend together
To the gazales of Akbar Khan
Touch the moon with our fingers
Reshape the master plan
Here are mountains and valleys
That we must traverse
May today be a valley day
In the river of our birth

But something tells me we'll not be
Together very long
That misery will have its way
Like the ending of this song --
But we can forget it all for now in the sanctum of your room . . .
The sanctum that is you . . .

[Instrumental]

It's so cool
Bein' here with you
On this hazy, lazy, sunny afternoon
Mid the hanging plants and incense
That dervish in your room
Drinking tea, weaving tapestries
On conversation's loom
In this sanctum I'm so glad to share with you
This sanctum of your room.
