Verse 1 Morning paints the desert gold, Silent stories never told. Footprints fade beneath the breeze, Carried off with restless seas. Pre-Chorus Was it dust upon my eyes? Or a thousand sweet disguise? Every answer slipped away, With the dying of the day. Chorus Sand and check-out, fading slow, Where the lonely echoes go. Was I leaving... or left behind? Only shifting sands will mind. Sand and check-out, whisper low, Was it real? I'll never know. If I wake beyond the dawn, Will the desert still go on? Verse 2 Empty rooms without a name, Every face became the same. Neon ghosts in twilight's glow, Did they stay... or did they go? Bridge I held a key inside my hand, Then it slipped into the sand. When I turned to look once more, There was no hotel anymore. Final Chorus Sand and check-out, drifting free, Like a half-remembered dream to me. Every road returns somehow, Only silence answers now. Sand and check-out, one last sigh, Mirage beneath a desert sky. If tomorrow calls my name... Was I ever there the same? Outro The wind erased the final line... Leaving only sand... and time. The wind erased the final line... Leaving only sand... and time. The wind erased the final line... Leaving only sand... and time.
