I left the sea for a desert world:reflective sand in white
washed sunI left the sea to find chalky bonesof the dead dinosaurs
long-gone
They hide under pointy cactus spikesin a world without blue
rain,above ripple dunes, the stars break the gloomOf the bronzy
dusted plains
And for ten-thousand Arabian nightsthe gypsy girls whirl and
singEmeralds glint and gold is silk,In the land of the Sultan
Queen.
I left the sea so I wouldnt drownThe Ocean Lord is cruel. But
across the diamond sand Ive found That the desert has its
ghouls.
They writhe under Osiriss light Where mighty dinosaurs once
reigned. And as the moon turns the desert world whiteI know theyll
eat me away.
So I wander with the tumbleweedsand see far away a mirage of
blueThough I left the sea shadows behind, I cant get rid of
you.
