lyrics

Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv: as gracious as the morning
Tel Aviv: you know I hate to go
Tel Aviv: my heart is black with mourning
I must return to the land I know.

Tel Aviv: you know London is calling
I must heed the call & cry of home
And though I know Jerusalem’s not falling
Now I need to leave I feel so alone.

Tel Aviv: I loved one of your daughters
We sang away the nights and Gothic days
A wild as child as ever was a daughter
I miss her now as I fly far away.

Chorus
Love is a cruel mistress & the sands of time must run
But London’s not for leaving & I could never leave my son
Love is a cruel mistress & I suppose our time was done
For London’s not for leaving & I could never leave my son.

Tel Aviv: in war & peace & sunshine
Will you tell her that I miss her so?
Tel Aviv: she will always stay mine
As she knows it breaks my heart to go.

Tel Aviv: jewel beside an ocean
Tell my woman to sing her saddest songs
My love for her was complete in its devotion
But she knew I never could belong.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Tel Aviv: this aeroplane is soaring
As it flies through the bluest skies
Tel Aviv: the London rain is pouring
Tell my woman I shall love her ‘til I die
Tell my woman I shall love her ‘til I die
Tell my woman I shall love her ‘til I die.
