Deep down in the depths of forgotten dreams   So far away, so long ago it seems   The memory comes of a distant beach   Pale sand stretching far from reach   It was then I found my princess of the sand      As I traced the foam, pebbles beneath my feet   I looked behind, I saw this one so sweet   She came to me and I saw in her eyes   The heavy toll of a thousand eyes   I called her my princess of the sand      She stared at me and my mind was in a maze   As we moved along in a summer sea-dream haze   She moved her mouth but there came no sound   The message she brought can never be found   But I called her my princess of the sand      One moment we walked with the night breeze in our face   Then I looked, she'd gone of her presence, there was no trace   Where she went or came from who can know   Or if she'll ever return to help me know   Who she is, my princess of the sand      Sometime when the summer nights come back   I'll go back to the sea, follow that sandy track   I'll look around, hope to find   That strange young dream, close behind   I'll call her my princess of the sand
