Quicksand - Hold on 'til I reach you
Hang in - I'm running to free you

All alone in the wilderness
Craving for a sweet caress
Lover appears in a cruel mirage
A fatal trap under camoflage, it's like..

Quicksand - They all tried to warn you
Old ways - Are too easy to fall into

You broke away from my caravan
You didn't trust the camel man
You want his space so took it all
Now who's around here to see you fall?

Quicksand - I ain't trying to blame you
Call me - Now don't be ashamed to

All alone in the dead of night
Dreaming of Turkish Delight
An empty bed is a barren land
It drains up tears like burning sand

I only pray that I ain't too late
There's something left to extricate
Just relax, don't give into fear
If you struggle you will dissapear under..

Quicksand - Hold on 'til I reach you
Hang in - I'm running to free you
Quicksand - I'm searching for traces
Come home - To my cool oasis
