The original lyric is from ca. 2020 (or even earlier). I revised and restructured it a couple of years ago, and hoped - in vain - one day to find a musical collaborator. Then along came AI. Et voila! It took multiple attempts to achieve what sounded almost like what I had in mind. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage the signature middle eastern vocal flourishes and intensity in my vocal melody template, but at least the traditional instruments (oud, lute, flute, darbukka) seemed to work. Hope you enjoy the result. (-:

Intro
Oh traveller, you’re weary
…I know the dunes are steep
But my longing is the sand that burns your feet
Come lie with me beneath a palm tree
…And join me as I dream
V1
Camels bearing tea and spices
Herbs and fruits from foreign shores
Persian rugs recounting centuries of lore
Chorus
Come drink your fill
…[Pause] My love is an oasis
Come drink your fill
…[Pause] The water here is deep
V2
Baskets filled with jade and rubies
Robes of silk to revel in
Tambourines of silver, drums of zebra skin
Chorus
Come drink your fill
… My love is an oasis
Come drink your fill
…The water here is deep
Bridge
But when I awaken
To the desert of my room
My only lover is the waning moon
… Oh, my parched heart aches for rain
To make its flowers bloom
Chorus
Come drink your fill
…My love is an oasis
Come drink your fill
…The water here is deep
…My love is an oasis
Come drink your fill
The water here is deep
