The Transformational Power of Music...

Crosby, Stills & Nash: Marrakesh Express
(Graham Nash)

"Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five-foot tall in blue

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All aboard the train, all aboard the train

I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair

Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth
Colored cottons hang in the air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped djellebas we can wear at home Well, let me hear you now

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board the train, all on board the train
All on board

[Ending (Electric Guitars)]"

I am accepting the dichotomy in my life of having a beloved in your heart, and a husband and kids in your life...  I have just come back from an amazing trip to Pakistan, and have got amazing insights, writing a book about them...

So if I do not blog as aggressively, just know I am writing a book...  to make up for my lack of writing as much, I will post music I listen to while I write.

OK?

Love,
Jhilmil
