Sink Sand

Lieutenant

Have you ever wondered where she goes
Have you ever wandered in the atmosphere
Have you ever sought the common sting
Only to find a hollow ring
I'm pushing back the affect
All the time
Dismayed in grey
Sink sand devours precious time (all the time)
I think in hours
Set the clocks behind
Once there was what once would probably do
I live to laugh but why not with you
Alive like the care taker of Lenin's tomb
Shifting like a conscript out to sea
Miles from home and six feet from bed
We stood at a distance out under the sun
Then gazed through waves above tarry black road
A scene so simple now it's Guernica
All grace ablaze
Sink sand devours precious time (all the time)
I think in hours
Set the clocks behind
Once there was what once would probably do
I live to laugh but why not with you
I take two strokes to the right and find
Find I've lost sight
Find the way back to shore alright
Under a bonfire's red light
Sink sand devours precious time (all the time)
I think in hours
Set the clocks behind
Once there was what once would probably do
I live to laugh but why not with you
Alive like the care taker of Lenin's tomb
