Roman land Of Roman sands And Roman
sons. As I watch the sun sink down On the bloodred edge Of the bloodred
town There are shadows for sale On
the edge of town At the edge of the night Is a darkness seen From the side of
the light (From the side of the
night). And the winds blow round this sleeping town This sleeping town This Roman land Of Roman sands And
Roman sons. And it seems to me That
when I close my eyes All the lights in
the world Go out And the night passes by And you whisper to me A
thousand lies I stare in surprise Towards the desert's warm black And
the desert stirs And the desert stares back With a thousand eyes Piercing
eyes Ancient eyes And I ask my lover "Do you know Where the desert roses bloom and grow?"
