| Lyrics |
Roman land
Of Roman sands
And Roman sons.
As I watch the sunsink down
On the bloodred edge
Of the bloodred town
There are shadowsfor sale
On the edge of town
At the edge of the night
Is a darkness seen
From the sideof the light(
From the sideof the night).
And the windsblow roundthis sleeping town
This sleeping town
This Roman land
Of Roman sands
And Roman sons.
And it seems to me
That when Iclose my eyes
All the lights in the world
Go out
And the nightpasses by
And you whisper to me
A thousand lies
I stare in surprise
Towards the desert'swarm black
And the desert stirs
And the desert staresback
With a thousand eyes
Piercing eyes
Ancient eyes
And I ask my lover"
Do you know
Where the desert rosesbloom and grow?"
