Lyrics

A legend told of treasure in the west
Lost long ago, soon I became obsessed
Off, did I fly across the platinum dunes?
'Neath onyx sky and ivory mask of moon
At break of day under an opal dawn
I made my way through canyons burnished bronze
I plunged my head in topaz tinted pools
Then on I sped in search of secret jewels
Long I've ridden through this desert
Chasing x's on the shifting sands
Somewhere hidden lies that treasure
But I fear it's slipping through my hands
Onward I roved, I followed silver streams
Through emerald groves and found a sparkling spring
A sapphire, set in golden poppy fields
But no buried chest of riches locked and sealed
Long I've ridden through this desert
Chasing x's on the shifting sands
Somewhere hidden lies that treasure
But I fear it's slipping through my hands
I met a girl with lips so ruby red
Bright copper curls and sheets of silken thread
She begged me stay with diamonds in her eyes
But I stole away to find my real prize
Long I've ridden through this desert
Chasing x's on the shifting sands
Somewhere hidden lies that treasure
But I fear it's slipping through my hands
