Robin Williamson - Sandy Land lyrics

By Robin Williamson

Robin Williamson: Electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, oboe, backing vocals and vocals.

Stan Lee Buttons: Bass and pedal steel.

Gerry Conway: Drums.

The wheels roll on and on into the older west

seeking for sleep and you found no rest

old genetic train is railed to the ground

it keeps your smiles turned down

dandelion compass and the bible and pin

seen some seasick sailors since the origin

you may sift your bread you can save your bran

its hard to make a living on sandy land

the map of human theatre

its incomplete

favourite parts are broken hearts and poison

sweet

here grins the villain in the smartest car

the hero in the mask of bone

everyone prompting behind the scenes

for their reasons unknown

the map of human theatre

its filled with roads

but favourite routes are concrete boots

and overloads.
