[00:18.56]Was it summer when the river ran dry,
[00:24.16]Or was it just another dam.
[00:30.25]When the evil of a snowflake in June
[00:35.16]Could still be a source of relief.
[00:41.13]O how I love you, I once cried long ago,
[00:47.00]But I was the one who decided to go.
[00:52.86]To search beyond the final crest,
[00:56.42]Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high.
[01:10.04]So I pretended to have wings for my arms
[01:16.82]And took off in the air.
[01:21.49]I flew to places which the clouds never see,
[01:26.88]Too close to the deserts of sand,
[01:32.60]Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies
[01:38.62]Forced me to land and take a disguise.
[01:44.30]I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back
[01:48.52]If I could find a horse not made of sand.
[02:02.41]If this desert's all there'll ever be
[02:08.12]Then tell me what becomes of me.
[02:13.19]A fall of rain?
[02:16.23]That must have been another of your dreams,
[02:22.12]A dream of mad man moon.
[04:49.75]Hey man,
[04:51.34]I'm the sand man.
[04:52.60]And boy have I news for you;
[04:55.14]They're gonna throw you in gaol
[04:56.90]And you know they can't fail
[04:58.42]'Cos sand is thicker than blood.
[05:01.35]But a prison in sand
[05:02.99]Is a haven in hell,
[05:04.60]For a gaol can give you a goal
[05:07.17](and a) goal can find you a role
[05:09.06]On a muddy pitch in Newcastle,
[05:11.56]Where it rains so much
[05:13.12]You can't wait for a touch
[05:14.73]Of sun and sand, sun and sand...
[05:26.47]Within the valley of shadowless death
[05:31.42]They pray for thunderclouds and rain,
[05:37.29]But to the multitude who stand in the rain
[05:42.37]Heaven is where the sun shines.
[05:47.79]The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown
[05:53.42]And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down.
[05:59.14]Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn
[06:04.51]To disbelieve the sea.
[06:16.75]If this desert's all there'll ever be
[06:22.28]Then tell me what becomes of me.
[06:26.79]A fall of rain?
[06:30.31]That must have been another of your dreams,
[06:35.52]A dream of mad man moon.
