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 pass 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
