Overview
Brazzaville - Shams lyrics
Ali was a sailors son
Joined the merchant fleet at twenty-one
Dreams of ports in distant lands
A bag of figs and some low-grade heroin
As the years rolled by at sea
Ali thought about his destiny
Tired of the sailors life
Ali thought hed find himself a wife
Lisbon, Guangzhou, Taipei, Bandung,
Naples, Brunei, Capetown, Shanghai,
Bangkok, Pusan, Dublin, Luzon,
Lima, Dakar, Cypress, MaltaBrazzaville - Shams - http://motolyrics.com/brazzaville/shams-lyrics.html
Sometimes things arent what they seem
Late one night our sailor had a dream
A queen of Indonesian lore
A voice hed loved a thousand years or more
Lisbon, Guangzhou, Taipei, Bandung
When the typhoon struck at dawn
Ali had his finest civvies on
All the crew were cramped below
And with a smile into the sea he dove
Lisbon, Guangzhou, Taipei, Bandung
