A goal can find you a role on a muddy pitch in Newcastle
But to the multitude who stand in the rain
That must have been another of your dreams
A dream of mad man moon
So I pretended to have wings for my arms
Could still be a source of relief
Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies
Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high
When the evil of a snowflake in June
Heaven is where the sun shines
'Cause sand is thicker than blood
That must have been another of your dreams
Then tell me what becomes of me, a fall of rain?
If this desert's all there'll ever be
They pray for thunderclouds and rain
But a prison in sand is a haven in hell
Forced me to land and take a disguise
And boy have I news for you
If this desert's all there'll ever be
I flew to places which the clouds never see
Oh, how I love you, I once cried long ago
They're gonna throw you in gaol
Then tell me what becomes of me, a fall of rain?
If I could find a horse not made of sand
I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back
Within the valley of shadowless death
The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown
But I was the one who decided to go
And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down
And you know they can't fail
And took off in the air
Where it rains so much, you can't wait for a touch
Too close to the deserts of sand
Of sun and sand, sun and sand
For a gaol can give you a goal
To disbelieve the sea
To search beyond the final crest
Hey, man, I'm the sandman
Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn
