Summerday Sands Lyrics

I once met a girl
With a life in her hands
And we lay together
On the summer day′s sands
I gave her my ring
So the lady be good
And we made it through together
When no one else would

I smiled through her fingers
And ran the dust through her hands
The hourglass of reason
On the summer day's sands
We sat as the sea caught fire
Awaiting as the flames grew higher
In her eyes
In her eyes

We watched the eagle born
Wings clipped, tail feathers shorn
But we saw him rise
We saw him rise
On the summer day′s sands

Came the ten o'clock curfew
She said, "I must start my car
I'm staying with someone
I met last night in a bar"
I called from my wave top
"At least tell me your name"
She smiled from a wheel spin
And said, "It′s all the same"

I thought for a minute
Jumped back on dry land
Left one set of footprints
On the summer day′s sands

I once met a girl
With a life in her hands
And we lay together
On the summer day's sands

On the summer day′s sands
On the summer day's sands
On the summer day′s sands
On the summer day's sands
