Sinking Sand Lyrics

Alone on a stranded isle of thought

Observing from afar I saw

The waves, they crash against the shore

Day after day

Trapped in between the sea and land

Buried beneath the sinking sand

An ocean's tide will carry me

Far away

Far away

Chorus:

As time is slipping through my hands

There's something I can't see

I watch the falling grains of sand

Why are they leaving me

As the tide rolls out

A thousand ships they pass me by

Their billowed sails against the sky

They come and go and yet

They still don't hear my call

As shadows flicker in the fire

The smoke and flames keep rising higher

It overcomes me and I dream

Dream and pray

Dream and pray

Chorus:

As time is slipping through my hands

There's something I can't see

I watch the falling grains of sand

Why are they leaving me

As the tide rolls out

And I wonder where the time left me behind

So on this stranded isle I'll stay

With no one here I can recall

And watch my life slippin' away

I'm left alone to face it all

As the sun goes down
