Lyrics

Sid & Ruby

When Sid and Ruby moved to my neighborhood
I’d watch them from my backyard
I’d never seen a love so pure, so good
Though I’ve traveled far
They’d make you feel young again and free
As you’d take in the sight
Of the lovers playing joyfully
On those Arabian nights, those Arabian nights,
Yeah they got it right, on those Arabian nights, oh they got it rite, on those Arabian nights

Now Sid was twice her age and Ruby was chestnut brown
But when they’d run toward one another
they’d make a thunderous sound
You wish you had another life to spend
When U see it lived so right
As you watched the lovers playin’ friends
On those Arabian nights, those Arabian nights,
Yeah they got it rite, on those Arabian nights, oh they got it rite, on those Arabian nites

A Saturday when Sid was running hard, flying over the ground
He snapped a leg they carried him to the yard, and had to put him down
Ruby never really understood, why Sid was gone from her side
But everybody in the town they knew, it was the end of those nights, those Arabian nights.
