Lebanese Night [concert version] lyrics

It was late in a Lebanese restaurant

In the heat of a Lebanese night

There was dancing, people were singing

She came in from the garden outside

And in her eyes I saw the stars

And I felt something happen in my heart

Then I knew I was going to meet her

In the heat of a Lebanese night

And the girl inside the woman

Who came over to sit by my side

When she smiled, the whole world stopped

It was then I heard the echoes of a child

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby

And the sound of the guns in the night?

And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life

From the hell that came down from the sky

On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night?

We went down to the edge of the water

By the light of a Lebanese dawn

And she told me all the stories

Of her beautiful land in the war

Her tears fell down, the sun came up

And I saw again the young girl in her eyes

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby

And the sound of the guns in the night?

And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life

From the hell the came down from the sky

On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night?

All of my life, all I have known,

Only a place where peace cannot go

All over the world, the gift from before

Nothing is left for the children of war

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby

And the sound of the guns in the night?

And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life

From the hell that came down from the sky

On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night?

On a Lebanese night (x4)

In the Lebanon
