Lyrics

Well, first I have to tell you that I'm not insane
And that once I was a famous archaeologist named
In a recent expedition in a distant land
I just happened to be passing my hand in the sand

And then I stopped, looked, and then I was hooked
I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone
Then the mist started, started to clear
I saw a face, a face in the moonstone
And then it started to disappear

Well, I walked and walked and never talked
For many days
And without a friend a desert is a lonely place
I was just about to turn around and make way home
When something told me that I had to see it again

And then I stopped, looked, and then I was hooked
I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone
Then the mist started, started to clear
I saw a face, a face in the moonstone
And then it started to disappear

A vu ray, a vu ray
A vu ray

I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone
Then the mist started, started to clear
I saw a face, a face in the moonstone
And then it started to disappear
And then it started to disappear
And then it started to disappear
