Haifa, Israel around 1979-1980... Written on the balcony of the Dan Carmel hotel overlooking Haifa's harbor.

The Foreign Sun © Charles P. Hurowitz

I dreamed last night I was on a plane
And you were at the airport waiting
I caught the smile on your face
When you saw my body through the gate
You ran, you cried, you missed me so
I spent the night with you alone

Flew half the world and it isn’t fun
To lie without you in the foreign sun

At the Western Wall I stood and prayed
My place in you has not been taken
The ancient bricks now hold your name
May God’s love from you not be taken
Oh Holy land please let me go
I’ve had my fill of sand and stone

Flew half the world and it isn’t fun
To lie without you in the foreign sun

I’m tired of hotel luxury
I’d take your studio for free
And I would give up part of me
If from this window I could see
The Hudson River oh so wide
The bridge across from the riverside

Flew half the world and it isn’t fun
To lie without you in the foreign sun

I dreamed last night I was on a plane
And you were at the airport waiting
