| [00:18.56] |
Was it summer when the river ran dry, |
| [00:24.16] |
Or was it just another dam. |
| [00:30.25] |
When the evil of a snowflake in June |
| [00:35.16] |
Could still be a source of relief. |
| [00:41.13] |
O how I love you, I once cried long ago, |
| [00:47.00] |
But I was the one who decided to go. |
| [00:52.86] |
To search beyond the final crest, |
| [00:56.42] |
Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high. |
| [01:10.04] |
So I pretended to have wings for my arms |
| [01:16.82] |
And took off in the air. |
| [01:21.49] |
I flew to places which the clouds never see, |
| [01:26.88] |
Too close to the deserts of sand, |
| [01:32.60] |
Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies |
| [01:38.62] |
Forced me to land and take a disguise. |
| [01:44.30] |
I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back |
| [01:48.52] |
If I could find a horse not made of sand. |
| [02:02.41] |
If this desert's all there'll ever be |
| [02:08.12] |
Then tell me what becomes of me. |
| [02:13.19] |
A fall of rain? |
| [02:16.23] |
That must have been another of your dreams, |
| [02:22.12] |
A dream of mad man moon. |
| [04:49.75] |
Hey man, |
| [04:51.34] |
I'm the sand man. |
| [04:52.60] |
And boy have I news for you; |
| [04:55.14] |
They're gonna throw you in gaol |
| [04:56.90] |
And you know they can't fail |
| [04:58.42] |
'Cos sand is thicker than blood. |
| [05:01.35] |
But a prison in sand |
| [05:02.99] |
Is a haven in hell, |
| [05:04.60] |
For a gaol can give you a goal |
| [05:07.17] |
(and a) goal can find you a role |
| [05:09.06] |
On a muddy pitch in Newcastle, |
| [05:11.56] |
Where it rains so much |
| [05:13.12] |
You can't wait for a touch |
| [05:14.73] |
Of sun and sand, sun and sand... |
| [05:26.47] |
Within the valley of shadowless death |
| [05:31.42] |
They pray for thunderclouds and rain, |
| [05:37.29] |
But to the multitude who stand in the rain |
| [05:42.37] |
Heaven is where the sun shines. |
| [05:47.79] |
The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown |
| [05:53.42] |
And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down. |
| [05:59.14] |
Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn |
| [06:04.51] |
To disbelieve the sea. |
| [06:16.75] |
If this desert's all there'll ever be |
| [06:22.28] |
Then tell me what becomes of me. |
| [06:26.79] |
A fall of rain? |
| [06:30.31] |
That must have been another of your dreams, |
| [06:35.52] |
A dream of mad man moon. |
