Riad Nocturne

Lyrics

Marble cool beneath my open hands The fountain speaks in silver tongues Above these walls the sky falls open And every star finds room to breathe Riad nocturne the sky has no ceiling here Riad nocturne the sky has no ceiling here No ceiling here No ceiling here Jasmine heavy on the evening air A Gnawa echo threads the alley walls The oud bends notes like candlelight Each phrase hangs warm and never falls The courtyard holds the night like cupped hands And pours the stars directly through your skin Riad nocturne the sky has no ceiling here Riad nocturne the sky has no ceiling here No ceiling here No ceiling here The tiles hold patterns older than the faith That carved the arches overhead I trace the geometry with my eyes Each angle leads to the infinite The fountain counts the hours down In drops that never reach the ground The oud releases its last phrase Into the silence of this place
