[Verse 1]
I traced the dunes at dawn
Gold on my hands
Your silence felt like home
Across the sand
The wind kept my secrets
Soft in the heat
I fell for that empty
And it swallowed me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it calls my name
From way out there
Oh, it leaves a flame
In the open air
[Chorus]
I love the Sahara
I love the Sahara (oh)
Wide as my heart can go
I love the Sahara
I love the Sahara (oh)
Burning but I don't let go
[Verse 2]
Tea in a dented cup
Under a torn shade
Tracks like little verses
The night had made
Stars came out slowly
One by one
I wanted that gold dust
On my tongue
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it calls my name
From way out there
Oh, it leaves a flame
In the open air
[Chorus]
I love the Sahara
I love the Sahara (oh)
Wide as my heart can go
I love the Sahara
I love the Sahara (oh)
Burning but I don't let go
[Bridge]
Take me back to the still
To the bright, dry sky
Let the whole world fade
While the dunes roll by
I was made for that heat
Made for that shine
Made for the long, long road
And the line of time
[Chorus]
I love the Sahara
I love the Sahara (oh)
Wide as my heart can go
I love the Sahara
I love the Sahara (oh)
Burning but I don't let go
[Outro]
Oh, it calls my name
From way out there
Oh, it leaves a flame
In the open air!
