Snow on the Sahara
by Anggun C. Sasmi
Only tell me that you still want me here
when you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
in that dry white ocean alone
[Lost out in the desert
you are lost out in the desert]
But to stand with you in a ring of fire
I’ll forget the day’s gone by
I’ll protect your body and guard your soul
from mirages in your sight
[Lost out in the desert]
If your hopes 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
w o u u u u . . . . .
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 hopes 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
for snow to fall on the Sahara
for snow to fall on the Sahara
for snow to fall on the Sahara
