Sand

I asked a distant star, "I wonder where you are"

The shadow at my door, a friend who is no more

I watched him go to the wind

I closed my eyes, goodbye, goodbye my friend

Friends and family, the branches of the tree

Sheltered in the rain, telling me again

"No matter how the raindrops run

The world will turn, turn back to the sun"

Yeah, yeah

A trick of light upon our eyes

A trick of time upon our lives

Ancient songs cry out to you

Surely this sweet sand is slipping through

I watched him go to the wind

I closed my eyes, goodbye, goodbye my friend

Yeah

A trick of light upon our eyes

A trick of time upon our lives

Ancient songs cry out to you

Surely this sweet sand is slipping through

Slipping through the glass of time

Slipping through the glass

Surely this sweet sand will run out by and by

And while the days come down to you

While the days come down

You are just a traveler passing through

Ooh, yeah, yeah
