Sand

on Postcard #4 - California - Songs for a Soft Heart

2012

Lyrics

as silence wraps us in
and I forget where you end and where I begin
it gets difficult to tell
the difference between heaven and hell.

once you have it all,
think you`ve found it.
it will slip through your fingers like sand.

before I go to bed
I must shake off the visions that still cloud my head
they linger, they come and go,
deceiving me, whispering: "i told you so"
but it gets easier to tell
the difference between heaven and hell

undo the things we`ve done.
unsing the songs we`ve sung,
all sympathy is gone.
I`ve known it all along:

you can have it all,
you can find it.
but it will slip through your fingers like sand.

you can have it all
you can find it.
but it will slip through your fingers like sand
