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