Name that Tune

Still no.  Let's add some clue lines:

Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
Heaven's holding a half-moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
And kick up a little dust

Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evening ends
'Til the evening ends
You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
And you can be my sheik

I thought that that would have been enough for most people, but here's the whole song except for the title lyric:

 

[Title]

Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
Heaven's holding a half-moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
And kick up a little dust

Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evening ends
'Til the evening ends
You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
And you can be my sheik

I know your daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him
Jump at his beck and call
But you won't need no harem, honey
When I'm by your side
And you won't need no camel, no no
When I take you for a ride
Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evening ends
'Til the evening ends
[Title]
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows painting our faces
And traces of romance in our heads

I definitely know I've heard the song before.  Wait a minute, I think It just came to me now, Maria Muldaire  Midnight on/by the Oasis

It was send your camels to bed that gave it away

Can't get no rest
Don't know how I work all day
When will I learn?
Memories get in the way
I walk around
I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but I
Don't see at all
I gotta get away, gotta get away

Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone well I
Spent all my day
Fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late
And I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find
Love, peace of mind, some other time, but I
Still have today
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone

Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone
Not far away
I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I
Could see her face
Smilin' as she came, callin' out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
Guess I'll call it a day

Baby, although I chose this lonely life
It seems it's stranglin' me now
All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic car
They're all laughin' at the lie

Oh, I've been used Ooh-oh-oh-oh
I've been a fool, oh, what a fool
I broke all the rules Oh, yeah

Baby, there's an enormous crowd of people
They're all after my blood
I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theater
Let me out
Let me out!

Oh, I'm so blind, oh, (so blind) I'm blind
I wasted time, wasted, wasted, (wasted time) wasted time
Walking on a wire, oh, (high wire) high wire

I think I finally got it.   I thought the artist was Lou Sayers, but after following up with my inclination that the title was "The Show Must Go On" and it was Lou Sayers' song, I got caught up in some feed and I had to question my answer.  Apparently covered by other artists like Three Dog Night, Queen.  But it turns out it was a song recorded by Sayers and co-written by him.  Thanks George for reminding me of the artist.  I really liked Leo Sayers.  He has some great songs.  Very entertaining artist.

Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Alay your love songs all night long for me, only for me

Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cozy room the windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you

I'll light the fire, you place the flowers
In the vase that you bought today
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me

Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cozy room the windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you

[song title] is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy, 'cause of you
And our la, la, la la la la la, la, la, la la la la la

[song title] is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy, 'cause of you
