Lyrics
Princes come, Princes go
An hour of pomp and show they know
Princes come and over the sands
And over the sands of time they go
Wise men come, ever promising
The riddle of life to know
Wise men come, ah, but over the sands
The silent sands of time they go
Lovers come, lovers go
And all that there is to know lovers know
Only lovers know
