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
