(Mike on lead)

Do you recall those days of Sahara?

Shade was our ecstasy

Pride was strong, friends true

As the day was long

Night winds blew cool and free

Our finest hours lived in the Sahara

Many centuries ago

Was it just last year?

Now there's no more good whiskey here

Not a trace of hidey-ho

I was never alone at the Sahara

How they'd gather to hear me speak

They said my eyes held fire

But a gold empire burned to the ground

The world unwound, and left me here a freak

(violin solo)

Bring back those days

Of that blessed Sahara

Oh, the sin, the sabotage

We had no fears

The band played for a thousand years

Or was it just a mirage?

Or was it just a mirage?

(violin solo)
