Dunes Songtext
von Chagall

The way we wake today beside the dunes
Wave after wave that the low horizon′s losing
There's a song in the way the first light moves
When the golden dawn from the ocean first rolls over your eyes

And the world is a world of notch and groove
In the gold and blue of a turning timeless music
It′s the way that we learn to live in tune
Wake with the sand as bed and you let the dunes roll over your life

It's only life
It's not for clinging to
The morning shines for the people who are singing to it

I found my light
In the shade of the waving and moving sand
And the dunes are given for dancing

Look at this life of sand and sea
This life′s a shining light
Dunes never move by the beat


Look at this life of fantasy
This life′s a trick of the light
Waves never fall for the beat

This life is me and you
Who's wrong if we′re all right?
Sand never shifts out of tune
Giving in to the dunes

He's a knife in the butter of the day
He′s a dance in the shade and a nap in the sun he ran from
Calm is something you can't chase
He tells me now he′s looked away
He thinks he's found the light
The light
The light

It's only life
It′s ours for singing to
The morning shines with what the people are bringing to it

I found my light
In the way of the waving and moving sand
And the dunes are given to dancing


Look at this life of sand and sea
This life′s a shining light
Dunes never move out of beat

Look at this life of fantasy
This life's a trick of the light
Waves never break for the beat

This life is you and me
What′s left if they're all right?
Sand never shifts out of key –

This life is me and you
Who′s wrong if we're all right?
The sun never rises too soon
Giving into the dunes
Sinking into the dunes
