Colours Run - Sand lyrics

Walk with me around the bay

Sit amid the dunes and play

Try to count the grains of sand

A universe of dust blows through our hands

This is not a simple love

Though we're made of simple stuff

Giddy fingers in the night

Burning oh so brief, but oh so bright

And when I look at the light, I won't look back

Maybe there's no grain of truth in this

Clouded sand

And maybe the trick is not to try

To understand

There is anger in your smile

Lonely and unreconciled

Smash yourself on my closed hand

You know the wave can never hold the land

Hold the land

This is not an easy game

Stupid sand looks all the same

It's not enough to feel the hurt

You need to put it into words

Maybe all your words are not enough

To get your point across

Look at the light and don't look back

Maybe there's no grain of truth in this

Clouded sand

And maybe the trick is not to try

To understand

Understand

Gates all the way to your house

Don't be deceived;

It's bigger on the inside

I cradle your head in my arms

So you don't see

Me look at you with cold eyes
