lyrics

Dervish Blues

My lover calls
From behind many veils
I reach with fevered longing
But my grasp always fails.
Like the ancient reed pipe
I wail and complain
And strain against phantoms
And promises vain

(Chorus)
Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose
That's why we song the blues
Same old story you heard before, and know so well
You and I both know there ain't no other story to tell.

My Lover calls
And I must respond
My Lover is everywhere
We share a beautiful bond.
You know, the blues that we sing
Until we're dead or insane
As this merciless world
Insults our pain
Are a prayer we always need
No other way for us to be free

My Lover calls
Here I am.
Funny thing about the promised land,
It was always close at hand.
