snow on the sahara

on our way to bayside, a band was playing this song... and then i immediately remembered some of the lyrics and was able to remember the title, but i failed to remember the singer... i asked osa if he knows it, and viola!!! he does... the answer... Anggun... husay!.. Anggun is a very talented singer... did you know that her real name is Anggun Cipta Sasmi and Anggun means "Grace born out of a dream" in Indonesian. nice name... i like her voice and the message of this song... like it very much.. here it is... with the lyrics



SNOW ON THE SAHARA - ANGGUN

Only tell me that you still want me here
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
In that dry white ocean alone

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

But to stand with you in a ring of fire
Ill forget the days gone by
Ill protect your body and guard your soul
From mirages in your sight

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
Ill be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, Ill pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

If thats the only place where you can leave your doubts
Ill hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away, Ill pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders
With veils of silk and gold
When the shadows come and darken your heart
Leaving you with regrets so cold

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
Ill be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, Ill pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

If thats the only place where you can leave your doubts
Ill hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away, Ill pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara
