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 her heart in Xanadu
And the foot prints leave no 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
I loved once for a day
And doomed to pass away
In Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu
In Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu
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 and the grief
Did you ever give your self 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
Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu
