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!
(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 the 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!
