Don't let love let you down
   It's been fine up to now
   Sahara, I just walked into your world
   Sahara, don't walk out on me now
  
   Don't let time tie you down
   It's been fine up to now
   Sahara, there is life in the desert
   Sahara, let the sands run away
  
   But in my heart and in my head
   I know that she'll wait for me
   Sahara brings me down
   She will take up all your time
   Then she'll laugh and cut you down
   Do you still hold a light for ... for me?
  
   Don't let fires burn too low
   Wild-eyed winds they still blow
   Sahara, I just walked into your world
   Sahara, don't walk out on me now
  
   But in my heart...
