The Llegend of Xanadu - Dave Dee

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 footsteps 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

(Spoken)

What was it to you that a man lay 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
