The Sheik by Liz23

music and lyrics by michael cohen.
accompaniment by fuzzy logic

the stars in the sky
are stars that i've never seen before
the desert's perfume
slips into the room 'neath my prison door

fallen into evil hands
, abducted to this barren land
the jackal of the desert sand, and his foul and fiendish band

but riding 'cross the dunes on his stallion white
guided by the moon, racing through the night
closer every hour 'though we're far apart

i can feel his power, i cannot still my heart
my sheik will rescue me, my sheik will rescue me

from this dark place he will save me in spite
of dangers he'll face this arabian night

don't try and tempt me
to come to your tent with your gifts of pearls
save your gold rings
for the more willing fingers of your harem girls
my sheik is coming from afar
fate will guide him where we are
send my love a guiding star
to lead him here from zanzibar
like on the silver screen in the final reel
like rudolph valentino, what a joy i'll feel
he'll take me in his arms, carry me out the door
safe from hate and harm, we'll live forever more
my sheik will rescue me, my sheik will rescue me
