John Wetton - Sand In My Hand lyrics

You know you sell your soul

Every time you lose control

Is it Heaven here on earth?

And you go through madness

On your way to sadness

It seems your prayers are never heard

Well, if you wanna get high again

Hit the sky again

Girl, that's up to you

For all this time, Marianne

You've been sand in my hand

I'll keep holding on

But until you understand

You're still sand in my hand

You throw it all away

You live to die one more day

And I know you're going down

So every night you look

Try every trick in your book

But the time is running out

So if you wanna get high again

Hit the sky again

There's nothing I can do

All this time, Marianne

You've been sand in my hand

I'll keep holding on

Until all my strength has gone

Don't be sand in my hand
