The sand slips through your hand
Like some Egyptian goddess of time
And the stars all glimmer like gold
And we can never grow old in this land
Godspeed you, the life which we knew
But it's over now
When all hope's lost and bent on the horizon
I'll still cherish life anyhow
In this pleasure dome among the endless dunes
We can disappear
But without you the trees cannot bear fruit
And the sun would sink down
Godspeed you, the life which we knew
But it's over now
When all hope's lost bent and on the horizon
I'll still cherish life anyhow
I know I'm lost
But please let me be lost here forever
