Dunes

"Dunes" is a song by [[LorD and Master] in which a stranger is passing through an arid land looking for a lost love. Relying heavily on the vocoder and sampled, ethereal vocals, this song has a mysterious quality to it. I think so, anyway.

Lyrics

Somewhere, far across the dunes
Where the sun meets a crescent moon
There's an oasis, or perhaps a lagoon
A meeting place, where I am to see you

Will you be there, under a deep blue sky
As we arranged, before I knew why
You had to leave without saying goodbye
You had to lie

I see a flash of your face among a crowd
But I can't draw attention, I can't be loud
I can't shout your name or barely make a sound
And when I turn the corner you're nowhere to be found

Sand in my eyes and sand on my skin
The dunes have worn my patience thin
Looking for you, I don't know where to begin
Could you be him?

Overwhelming, senses shot
I really don't think that I've got
What it takes; I've lost the plot
If I'm lost in the dunes, I'll surely rot

Sand in my shoes, sweat on my brow
I don't suppose I'll ever find you now
I don't suppose I'll ever find you now
Find you now
