Burning Sands 1922

Down by the silv'ry shores
of the Nile,
down where the iris blooms
all the while,
There 'neath the moon
that gleams o'er the sand,
a desert maid dreams
of her desert man,
and as she gazes
across the moonlit way.
Where love thoughts stray
she seems to say:

Across the Burning Sands,
there waits my Arab man,
beyond the coral strands
I'll share his caravan.
By the fair oasis
I know my place is
where smiling faces
will understand,
Love rules
the mystic land,
across the Burning Sands.

Across the Burning Sands,
there waits my Arab man,
beyond the coral strands
I'll share his caravan.
By the fair oasis
I know my place is
where smiling faces
will understand,
Love rules
the mystic land,
across the Burning Sands.

Soon on the wings of night so it seems,
over the sand to her land of dreams,
Back to her Arab chieftan she'll ride,
then he will name and claim her
for his bride,
and as the moonbeams
around them softly fall,
where love entralls
he'll hear her call:

Across the Burning Sands,
there waits my Arab man,
beyond the coral strands
I'll share his caravan.
By the fair oasis
I know my place is
where smiling faces
will understand,
Love rules
the mystic land,
across the Burning Sands.

Across the Burning Sands,
there waits my Arab man,
beyond the coral strands
I'll share his caravan.
By the fair oasis
I know my place is
where smiling faces
will understand,
Love rules
the mystic land,
across the Burning Sands.
