Quicksand - Hoodoo Gurus

Quicksand

Hold on till I reach you

Hang in — I’m running to free you

All alone in the wilderness

Craving for a sweet caress

Love appears in a cool mirage

A fatal trap under camouflage

It’s like quicksand

They all tried to warn you

Old ways are too easy to fall into

You broke away from my caravan

You didn’t trust the camel man

You wanted space so you took it all

Now who’s around here to see you fall

Into quicksand

I ain’t trying to blame you

Call me — now don’t be ashamed to

I’m alone in the dead of night

Dreaming of Turkish delight

An empty bed is a barren land

It drinks the tears up like burning sand

I only pray that I ain’t too late

There’s something left to extricate

Just relax, don’t give in to fear

If you struggle you will disappear

Under quicksand

Hold on till I reach you

Hang in — I’m running to free you

Quicksand

I’m searching for traces

Come home to my cool oasis

It’s like quicksand…
