Lyrics

	
Timbuktu---words and music by Gordon McLeod copyright 2003, 2004 
Verse 1 
Starlight gleaming, moonlight streaming, desert sky and evening’s sweet taboo. 
Ancient longings, no belongings, I’ll return again to Timbuktu. 

Verse 2 
I remember, slow and tender, sad Mandingo queen of midnight blue. 
Stolen mornings, unheard warnings, I was born again in Timbuktu. 

Bridge: 
Ah, the sweetness of my bitter tears, 
Wakes my heart with Deja Vu. 
Softly in the night her voice I hear 
Calling me to Timbuktu. 

Verse 3 
Subtle danger, to a stranger, in a foreign land of brown and blue 
Restless lover, took another, stole my heart away in Timbuktu. 


Instrumental interlude over verse chords 

Bridge: 
Ah, the sweetness of my bitter tears, 
Wakes my heart with Deja Vu. 
Softly in the night her voice I hear 
Calling me to Timbuktu 

Verse 4 
Starlight gleaming, moonlight streaming, desert sky and evening’s sweet taboo. 
Ancient longings, no belongings, I’ll return again to Timbuktu. 

Instrumental interlude and out
