This ancient love of ours buried under moon and stars
Older than both space and time
Before fire was discovered and the old sands covered
These desert winds reveal this ancient love of ours was real

This ancient love of ours buried under moon and stars
Once held in these hands of mine, beautiful, sacred, and so alive
Long before the earth was cool, before human beings grew old and cruel
And life became so overwhelming

Long before they drew a breath, you and I had no end
Long before they came to dig I was on my knees to lift
Your fragile bones held in my hand which shatter in any other man's
Covered by the sands of time, a golden age when you were mine

Now this ancient love of ours buried under moon and stars
Not even the faded ruins say how long here you and I both lay
Even the wind, the sun, and the sand
Can't recall the time before this ancient love of ours began

This ancient love of ours buried under moon and stars
Beyond all space and time, beautiful, sacred, and so alive
These howling desert winds reveal this ancient love of ours
Is real
