Should we find our secret hideaway Back into roles we used to play We thought we built a paradise with our hands But we were only spreading burning sand Only burning sand Once you felt the fire in me You knew the ways to set it free But you can't come closer it burns every touch Protects itself most jealously I longed for your kiss For the touch of your hand But our little oasis Has been overwhelmed by this burning sand I guess I had it figured wrong That where I'd go you'd come along Time laughs at our demands All that's left is burning sand
