Elton John - Sand And Water lyrics

Written by Beth Nielsen Chapman

Performed live by Elton on his 1997 Big Picture Tour

All alone I didn't like the feeling

All alone I sat and cried

All alone I had to find some meaning

In the center of the pain I felt inside

All alone I came into this world

All alone I will someday die

Solid stone is just sand and water, baby

Sand and water, and a million years gone by

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns

I will hear you in the sound of the waves

I will know you when I come, as we all will come

Through the doors beyond the grave

All alone I heal this heart of sorrow

All alone I raise this child

Flesh and bone, he's just bursting towards tomorrow

And his laughter fills my world and wears your smile

All alone I came into this world

All alone I will someday die

Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
