Scheherazade Songtext
von Cæcilie Norby

There′s a tale Sherazade doesn't tell
There is one secret story she is keeping to herself
In the thousands of words she has spoken
Not one is revealing the truth

In the moonlight she opens her mind
There′s a new blooming wonderland of fantasy to find
Graceful hands will be dancing 'til sunrise
Finally releasing the woman in her eyes


Mmm, she's a goddess of poems and tales
But she′s not if her bright imagination once should fail
If her well should run empty, her muse dried simply
At nine hundred ninety, she loses it all
Sherazade feeds herself on romance
Broken dreams and her wise head will fall

She′s a phoenix of fables and plays
But tonight she will have to prove it to her fiancé
She will make him imagine he's Sultan Aladdin
And she′s his Jasmine, their love will go on
Sherazade freed the bright nightingale
Her final tale, counting one thousand one

That's the secret she keeps to herself
Mmm, to herself
