South American Eye

Lyrics for South American Eye

Outside, Argentina was burning as she played her cello Or viola, while the country was falling in ash There was music in her ears She smiled, a sound so lovely So lost was she, eternally Below, he saw the desert pass beneath as he flew In the darkness, the Arabian oil fields Were like fire spots dancing He smiled, the desert air lovely Carries him into the sky Later, when the morning arrived, he flew right down to her She was playing her cello, viola At the top of the Empire State Building Hello (Hello), my Argentine princess I'm the Arabian knight who flies Over (Over) the desert and the ocean Over (Over) the desert and the ocean Over (Over) the desert and the ocean Over (Over) the desert and the ocean Over (Over) the desert and the ocean Over (Over) the desert and the ocean Over (Over) the desert and the ocean Just to trade the sky for one long look into your South American eye
