The sands sleep beneath the mists

As the breath of time sets in

And the memory that I have of you

Settles soft upon my skin


I feel your hand entwined in mine

As you call me your "El Cid"

I return your pure devotion

"Jimena , I'll love you as long as I shall live"


And across the morning mists

We will walk hand in hand


A latter day I found a wonder

But nowhere near the age

I am sadden by the book

That has a many missing page


If you are my Jabal Tariq

Then I'll be your rock "El Cid"

Across the time there is such distance

That no man can be rid


Prerhaps in another lifetime

Closer we will be

You will be my Jabal Tariq

And I will be "El Cid"
