Sand

I asked a distant star I wonder where you are The shadow at my door A friend who is no more I watched him go to the wind I close my eyes Goodbye, goodbye my friend Friends and family The branches of the tree Sheltered in the rain Telling me again No matter how raindrops run World will turn Turn back to the sun Yeah, yeah A trick of light upon our eyes A trick of time upon our lives Ancient songs cry out to you Surely this sweet sand is slipping through I watched him go to the wind I close my eyes Goodbye, goodbye my friend yeah A trick of light upon our eyes A trick of time upon our lives Ancient songs cry out to you And surely this sweet sand is slipping through Slipping through the glass of time Surely this sweet sand will run on by and by And while the days come down to you You are just a traveler passing through, yeah Yeah
