Sands Of Time

Watch the sea turn red
Sail away my friend
Catching all my past no one meant to last
Turn your heads away from me
It’s what you cannot see
Listen to the wind
Calling you again
And though you hear my cry, I’m not afraid to die
Look into the rain
Shattered without the pain
On the sands along the bay
Is the place where I must stay
Counting all that’s gone
Watching all alone

Cities up in flames
Am I the one to blame
Don’t you criticize
Till you’ve seen it through my eyes
Like the hourglass
Each day a grain has passed
And all I want to know is why they go so slow

Spirits in my mind reflect the years gone by
Clouds inside my head
They warn me on the edge
My heart is held in ice
My fate a roll of dice
With the tears that scar my face
It’s a never ending race

The sands of time
Falling eternally
In my mind
Endlessly calling me

If only I had known each day I’d walk alone
Shouting at the sky
Never a reply
On the sands along the bay
It’s the place where I must stay
Counting all that’s gone
Watching all alone
