Sands Lyrics

Sleep in some
safe song to hum
dreams we've spun and
will run from
the heavy head
that goes to bed
wishing for some
new day to come and is a

high load of the beating of your memories
that in their light make your days bright and dark
said in my pockets there is sand
oh, from many different lands
i long only for the one that's marked with stars
cuz my home it holds my bed, my head, my heart

spent ten days searching for some sunset
search for sunset, yeah you search for so long
drenched in darkness are you so full of pride now
cuz you saw what you were seeking, now the sunset is gone

but the sun will rise a thousand times and
will you still be so surprised to say

for every sun that is somewhere setting
there is one that is somewhere set to rise
every pretty thing you find yourself forgetting
there's a million nasty moments set to widen your eyes

so i know its best to hold my tongue
not trapped myself in time
till you come home and

listen to the ones you cannot remember
sing as loud as the ones you can't forget
these autumn days lead to another December
furnished with a feeling that you haven't shaken yet

and on and on
what went wrong?
sing yourself a story to the same old song, yeah, well

its the lighthouse where i said id always love you
in the end, where i never knew your name
in our lifetimes there's so many things we could do so
i wish we wouldn't spend them polishing our own pain

and you sang a song for time
give me the one that's right for spying and

to the ones as they go past you
to the ones that you will one day leave behind
speak kindly to the ones who never found the words to ask you, though
a million years could pass and they would never seem to mind

and i refuse to believe it was out of how you needed to say
give your heart to everything that you could find
try yourself, you try instead of everything you think, you said
everything that matters is sure to take time

appears some face
we'll find its place
give it time and
give it space
give it a name
it'll come if you call it
give it shape
even if that's how you recalled
