Byblos lyrics

Terry Kath, 1974)

I saw her once before; she didn`t turn me on.
One night she stopped to talk to pass the time.
And then I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow,
We sat and talked all night at Byblos.
She talked of feelings that I knew were true.
She painted me a picture using ev`ry shade of blue
It was light with laughter, At times it made me cry,
And now I`ll never know just why I didn`t ever try to hold her;
to squeeze her; to kiss her all night long, I never tried to pleaseher.

Then, soon she had to go;
I sat there all alone
And thought of things she said
The whole day through.
And then I realized,
I never took the time
To find out where she lived
Or where to call.
I thought that I would see
Her the next night,
Anticipating how I`d set myself right.

Then, I went back to Byblos
I sat there and waited,
Feeling just a little nervous
And a little frustrated.

Then, soon, in she came,looking just the same
Oo, I could hardly wait to take her far from the game.
Then a person came in to the club
that I had to speak to
I explained the situation to her
And i thought she understood
But I guess she thought I was jiving her around
Cause when I looked for her, this is what I found
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine,
He was happening, I guess it was his time.
I really couldn`t blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too.
But just talking to her did me so much good, I knew she`d do him good too.
Then I went home and I got it on,
Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone.
And then, about halfway through I wondered if someone knew
where she was, so I could give her a call,
And I found out that she was right down the hall,
Not too far away,
but that`s ok, I`ll just wait for the day when I can see
her again and spend some time
