A reference to Mike Batt
written by Klaus Adamaschek

lyrics

All along the Atlas mountains
A reference to Mike Batt

Well I saw the Atlas mountains for the first time in my life
Just a song from Mike Batt and some stories from my wife
It was the last month of winter, the air was wet and cold
Even snow in the Sahara, at least that's what we're told
Even snow in the Sahara, at least that's what we're told

All along the Atlas mountains 900 miles on dirty roads
We were hopping between centuries, rich and poor and new and old
Had some darker days behind me, waiting for brighter days to come
And in a church in Casablanca I saw the colors of the sun
In a church in Casablanca I saw the colors of the sun

At the foot of the Atlas mountains in the town of Marrakesh
In a magical medina you get anything for cash
We got lost in the backstreets in the quarter of the mud
Sometimes you have to see the backside to see the good you got
Sometimes you have to see the dark side to see the good you got

Oh my love day is night and night is day
Oh my love hold me close I've lost my way
Oh my love so many roles I had to play
Oh my love so many dues I have to pay
Oh my love don't you ever go away
Oh my love I love you more than I can say

Well I saw the Atlas mountains for the first time in my life
