Lyrics:
First verse
The hot winds that come to thee O'er dessert sands all go from me, I bid them to tell thee that I love thee, Speeding my soul to thee. Hot sands burning, Fire my veins with passion bold, Love I'll love thee till desert sands grow cold! Love me, I'll love thee
Refrain
Till the sands of the dessert grow cold, And their infinite numbers are told, God gave thee to me, And mine thou shalt be, Forever to have and to hold. Till the story of Judgement is told, And the myst'ries of Heaven unfold, I'll turn, love, to thee, My shrine thou shalt be Till the sands of the desert grow cold.
Second verse
The desert, a burning sea, A barrier stands ‘tween thee and me, Or love, fast as light, I'd hasten to thee, Quenching my thirst in thee. Noon suns find me, Far behind the caravan, Death there warns me, how vain is the strength of man. Love me, I'll love thee
(Refrain)
