Greensboro Ln - Sinking Sand lyrics

Alone on a stranded isle of thought Observing from afar I saw The waves, they crash against the shore Day after day Trapped in between the sea and land Buried beneath the sinking sand An ocean's tide will carry me Far away Far away Chorus: As time is slipping through my hands There's something I can't see I watch the falling grains of sand Why are they leaving me As the tide rolls out A thousand ships they pa** me by Their billowed sails against the sky They come and go and yet They still don't hear my call As shadows flicker in the fire The smoke and flames keep rising higher It overcomes me and I dream Dream and pray Dream and pray Chorus: As time is slipping through my hands There's something I can't see I watch the falling grains of sand Why are they leaving me As the tide rolls out And I wonder where the time left me behind So on this stranded isle I'll stay With no one here I can recall And watch my life slippin' away I'm left alone to face it all As the sun goes down
