Lyrics
Desert Dreamer
Desert dreamer, sifting through my hands,
Love's mirage on drifting sands.
Desert dreamer, your veiled smile draws me near,
As I approach you disappear.
Desert dreamer, from another time in ancient boats,
Clapping rhythms without notes
Desert dreamer, crescent moon in starless skies
Silhouettes of stone sing sacred cries.
Chorus
Don't leave, don't stay,
No time between night and day
Don't leave, don't stay,
No time for love today.
Solo
Desert dreamer, your shadowed eyes dissolve refrain
But the clash of gods means certain pain.
Desert dreamer, our hearts and minds entwine,
Forever caught in the rift of time.
Chorus
Don't leave, don't stay,
No time between night and day
Don't leave, don't stay,
No time for love today.
Desert dreamer, sifting through my hands,
Love's mirage on drifting sands.
Desert dreamer, your veiled smile draws me near,
As I approach you disappear.
Desert dreamer...
Desert dreamer...
Desert dreamer, sifting through my hands,
Love's mirage on drifting sands.
Desert dreamer, your veiled smile draws me near,
As I approach you disappear.
