Lyrics

As I kneel upon the sand
I hold these grains in the palm of my hand.
And I pretend that each one I'm holding
Is a piece of me.

Some just fall down to my knees
So I give the rest of them to the breeze.
This way I thank the wind that has left me
Sitting here beside your sea.

A dream just sails on the blue of your eyes.
But love is the wind upon which a ship like this relies.
And when the tide leaves me washed up on the shore,
I long to merely float upon your oceans once more.

Suddenly I feel so brave.
Your kiss takes me like a crashing wave.
I want to trust that you won't throw me
Head first in the sand.

I swear you won't find yourself chagrinned
If you just throw your grains into the wind.
Come sail with me, God knowing
When and where we'll land.

A dream just sails on the blue of your eyes.
But love is the wind upon which a ship like this relies.
And when the tide leaves me washed up on the shore,
I long to merely float upon your oceans once more.
