The sun may blind our eyes, I’ll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara. If that’s the only place where you can leave your doubts, I’ll hold you up and be your way out, and if we burn away, I’ll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara. Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders, with veils of silk and gold when the shadows come and darken your heart leaving you with regrets so cold lost out in the desert. If your hope scatter like the dust across your track, I’ll be the moon that shines on your path. The sun may blind our eyes, I’ll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara. If that’s the only place where you can leave your doubts, I’ll hold you up and be your way out, and if we burn away, I’ll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara.
