From the recording You, Me, and All of the Above
Across a Village

A love song that requires only the moonlight to guide the lover’s path. The Sufi feel comes from a stunning arrangement by Wanees Zarour.
Lyrics
1. I’d walk across a village just to be with you
To sit with you
A little while
I’d walk across a village just to be with you
To touch your hand
To see you smile
By crescent moon or full moon I would find my way
Across the stones
To where you stay
My heart would find the path to lead me to your door
As if I’d known
That path before
2. I’d walk across a village just to be with you
To share a song
To share a sigh
I’d walk across a village just to be with you
To talk with you
To be nearby
At the edge of twilight I would come to you
My heart’s delight
I’d run to you
The velvet glove of night would hold us in its hand
As word by word
The flames are fanned
I’d walk across a village just to be with you
To sit with you
A little while
I’d walk across a village just to be with you
To touch your hand
To see your smile.
