lyrics

And I saw the spires rise against the blue sky
Eternal and ancient
In the cobbled stone streets, memories of an age
Silk and sand

Where your eyes watched the heavens
The minarets pierce the veil
In your shadow I see the crossroads
Of the world

Take me to another age and dream of Samarkand
I hear your call under the eastern stars
The desert wind sings strange quatrains
I see your hopes, but so little remains

And underneath the sun and stars
The divine providence subsides
And though I seek to understand
I left my dreams in Samarkand

And I saw the curtain of centuries rise
A window to the past
Shadows of poets and fools
Concubines, conquerors, saints and fanatics

In my mind’s eye, a never-ending
Procession of the ghosts
They all dance
Under the azure lens of heaven

Take me to another age and dream of Samarkand
I hear your call under the eastern stars
The desert wind sings strange quatrains
I see your hopes, but so little remains
