Michael Nesmith
Casablanca Moonlight
[Verse 1]
Motor yacht pulses in the Casablanca moonlight
Pomade and perfume fill the summer air
Ladies of the island, ladies of estate
Mingle close and dance the rumba
That's why they're there
[Verse 2]
Moroccan magic pouring off the Silver Screen
Taking me to places no one has ever been
Fly the China Clipper, sail the Sally-B
There's no need to try to tell me
It's not what it seems
[Chorus]
And it all takes me home
It all takes me home
It all takes me home
[Verse 3]
Summer sun, Havana palms sway beside the clear green sea
Movies of Havana are all that I can see
Still enchantment wakes me, enchantment takes me
To the promise of perfection
Outside the dream
[Chorus]
And it all takes me home
It all takes me home
It all takes me home
[Verse 4]
Motor yacht pulses in the Casablanca moonlight
Pomade and perfume fill the summer air
Ladies of the island, ladies of estate
Mingle close and dance the rumba
That's why they're there
[Chorus]
It all takes me home
It all takes me home
It all takes me home
