Sahara

Do you recall those days of Sahara?
Shade was our ecstasy
Pride was strong, friends true
As the day was long
Night winds blew cool and free
Our finest hours lived in the Sahara
Many centuries ago
Was it just last year?
Now there’s no more good whiskey here
Not a trace of hidey-ho
I was never alone at the Sahara
How they’d gather to hear me speak
They said my eyes held fire
But a gold empire burned to the ground
The world unwound, and left me here a freak
(violin solo)
Bring back those days
Of that blessed Sahara
Oh, the sin, the sabotage
We had no fears
The band played for a thousand years
Or was it just a mirage?
Or was it just a mirage?
(violin solo)
