All I need’s a bit of shelter
All I need’s a place to hide
A place to rest till I feel better
Until the agony runs dry
When I recall the words you told me
Were like red hot burning coals
And now I’m all alone and empty
With just your mem’ry in my soul
Like the Shade in the Sahara
A little comfort’s hard to find
Like the sun over Sahara
You’re the one thing on my mind
You are beating down upon me
Like the burning desert sun
And I am lost in the Sahara
I have nowhere left to run
I cannot walk away from feelings
The dune just shifts beneath my feet
I can’t forget your smiling cruelty
And I cannot escape the heat
Like the Shade in the Sahara
A little comfort’s hard to find
Like the sun over Sahara
You’re the one thing on my mind
When I was young I held my mother
And when I’d dream then I could fly
I always hoped for when I’m older
And now the hope has passed me by
Every way I turn is pointless
Everything I touch is sand
Everywhere I keep on searching
For the hand that used to hold my hand
