Lyrics, by rawgod
Softly shimmering shining starlit sands
Disappearing diamonds drifting through my hands
Slowly floating feather-like to the shore
Where I shan’t see these same sands evermore
Life is like these minuscule grains of sand
No matter how you try you have to strand
The present in the past and leave it there
And never again create this moment rare
I know all things must pass from now to then
But still I try to keep them even when
They cannot be exactly as they were
My life I have to live now without her
But I can pick up sand another time
Yes I can choose another hill to climb
I can live where’er I choose to dwell
I don’t have to stay here in this hell
The choice is mine I tell myself each night
And maybe one day I’ll forego my plight
Once more for myself I’ll stand up tall
To her again I will refuse to crawl
How the hell did it ever come to this
It started with a single night of bliss
And grew from there to heights I’d never reached
Now like a whale upon this shore I’m beached
If I don’t get up soon I’ll start to die
Why can’t I get myself to even try
The sea is filled with fish I once was told
For now I will remain here in this cold
Perhaps one day I’ll launch my life anew
I’ll fix my hull and find another crew
But when I do I’ll vow before I start
To put a raincoat on my broken heart
Softly shimmering shining starlit sands
Disappearing diamonds drifting through my hands
Slowly floating feather-like to the shore
Where I shan’t these same sands evermore
