‘Sand’

I know you don’t want to go swimming in the sea
You’re standing too close to yourself
It’s not where you want to be
I’m not drowning but waving in the setting sun
In this entourage of salt water candles I’m among

So when the wind blows through your bones
And you’ve finished skimming stones

Let the sand 
Slip through your hands
Let the sand
Slip through your hands

And every time you're standing on the shore,
I will be the ripples missing your feet,
If the nearly touch aches - you know it's only me -
Knowing you're making sand castles on the beach.

So when the wind blows through your bones
And you’ve finished skimming stones

Let the sand 
Slip through your hands
Let the sand
Slip through your hands

So when the wind blows through my bones,
And I just can't skim that stone...

Let the sand slip through you hands,
Let the sand slip through your hand
