Kashka From Baghdad

Kashka from Baghdad
Lives in sin, they say
With another man
But no one knows whoOld friends never call there
Some wonder if life's
Inside at all
If there's life inside at allBut we know the lady who rents the room
She catches them calling a la luneAt night they're seen laughing, loving
They know the way to be happyThey never go for walks
Maybe it's because
The moon's not bright enough
There's light in love, you seeI watch their shadows
Tall and slim
In the window opposite
I long to be with them'Cause when all the alley-cats come out
I can hear music from Kashka's houseAt night they're seen laughing, loving
They know the way to be happyWatching every night
Don't you know they're seen?
Won't you let me laugh?
Let me in your love
