Little Aida - Shadow In The Sand lyrics

The skating rink has closed The empty fields forgive you All my servants have been disclosed Now there's no power in the cause There's no face in the mirror anymore The captains blew away like paper tigers The church is falling down Coz there's more roofs than footprints This the last bowlegged town The people who got so strong Separating belongings They're all gone like never here So was it worth it trying to hold forever in your hand Prepare to stand by, it was free and it was spent Still you wonder where it went And now its a shadow in the sand And there's no babies cryin Though there is a fever No tables to wait Deja vu to Jericho With fifty arrows in your ego Can't feel past each nerve to stop the blood flow Ten memories in the mud One by one we plucked out our feathers Laughing like hyenas at the flood Now there's no North There's no West Its beautiful and grotesque And it would take eternity to mourn for So was it worth it trying to hold forever in your hand Prepare to stand by, it was free and it was spent Still you wonder where it went And now its a shadow in the sand The color of the sunset is okay But I've seen better Mostly the sky is still the same But now there's no unknown land left Or expression on the face of d**h And gods of love and war at last divided Waiting in the waiting room Swimming in the swimming pool All of the things we never knew And now your body will Become the weeds you tried to k** My watch it sank beside you in the ocean So was it worth it trying to hold forever in your hand Prepare to stand by, it was free and it was spent Still you wonder where it went And now its a shadow in the sand
