The Sand Remembers

Verse 1

Sand whispers where the footprints fade

The wind carves shapes no hand has made

A caravan of memory moves slow

Across the gold that no one knows

Pre-Chorus

Ya leil ya leil

Carry my longing far from here

Ya leil ya leil

Fold me into the horizon clear

Chorus

Dunes rise like prayers on the breath of night

Dunes swallow the moon and cradle the light

Sand remembers what the heart cannot hold

Sand returns every story to the fold

Verse 2

The cactus blooms in secret sleep

Its petals hold the tears I keep

A nomad's song on the dry air

Searching for a home nowhere

Pre-Chorus

Ya leil ya leil

Carry my longing far from here

Ya leil ya leil

Fold me into the horizon clear

Chorus

Dunes rise like prayers on the breath of night

Dunes swallow the moon and cradle the light

Sand remembers what the heart cannot hold

Sand returns every story to the fold

Bridge

Oh the silence shines

Oh the distance binds

Oh the warm wind finds

Every grain aligned

Chorus

Dunes rise like prayers on the breath of night

Dunes swallow the moon and cradle the light

Sand remembers what the heart cannot hold

Sand returns every story to the fold
