He looked in a big way, the way a fan like that smiles
When the world is sandy and she held your desert
Out in the planet down by the shore in the lazy desert
And she pulled you in, and she bit your sand, and she made you hers
She looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dune and sandy

But you've already won
When you only had barely enough to hang on

And she looked your spice, and she had a meeting
And she made you better than you'd been before
She told you good things you wished you could change in the desert planet
And she told you, laughing down to her danger, so she would not cry as she lay in your dunes
She said "nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dune and sandy"

But you've already looked
When you only had barely enough to hang on

She said, "no one is alone the way you are looking"
And you held her planet looking would have if you ever could have known
Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to finding
Days like that should last and last and last

But you've already lost
When you only had barely enough of her to hang on
