Here a lone man stands

Watching as the sun leaves the sky

Lonely on these burning sands

He tires of the world's demands

This land has sucked him dry

Lonely on these burning sands

Longing to leave for other lands

He heaves a great big sigh

Here a lone man stands

He sighs and wrings his hands

And he wonders why

Lonely on these burning sands

His grief expands

And he wants to cry

Here a lone man stands

He thinks he understands

But wishes he could say goodbye

Here a lone man stands

Lonely on these burning sands
