*****
You'll hear my voice on the wind 'cross the sand
If you should return
To that black barren land that bears the name of Xanadu
Cursed without hope was the love that I sought
Lost from the start
Was the duel that was fought to win a heart in Xanadu
Now no footprints leave their traces
Only shadows move in places where we used to go
And the buildings open to the sky
All echo with the vultures cry as if to show
Our love was for a day and doomed to pass away in Xanadu
In Xanadu, in Xanadu
Instrumental
In Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu
Spoken
What was it to you that a man laid down his life for your love
Were those clear eyes of yours ever filled with the pain and
tears of grief
Did you ever give yourself to any one man in this whole wide world
Or did you love me and will you find your way back one day to Xanadu
You'll hear my voice on the wind 'cross the sand
If you should return
To that black barren land that bears the name of Xanadu
In xanadu, in xanadu, in xanadu, in xanadu
