[Verse 1]
The papers lie there helplessly in a pile outside the door
I've tried and tried, but I just can't remember what they're for
The world outside is tugging like a beggar at my sleeve
Ah, that's much too old a story to believe

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know that it's taken its share of me
Even though you take such good care of me

[Chorus]
Now you say "Morocco" and that makes me smile
I haven't seen Morocco for a long, long while
The dreams are rolling down across the places in my mind
And I've just had a taste of something fine

[Verse 2]
The future hides and the past just slides, England lies between
Floating in a silver mist so cold and so clean
And California's shaking like an angry child will
Who has asked for love and is unanswered still

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know that I'm looking back carefully
'Cause I know that there's still something there for me
[Chorus]
But you said "Morocco" and you made me smile
And it hasn't been that easy for a long, long while
And looking back into your eyes I saw them really shine
Giving me a taste of something fine
Something fine

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Now if you see Morocco I know you'll go in style
I may not see Morocco for a little while
But while you're there I was hoping you might keep it in your mind
To save me just a taste of something fine
