Summerday Sands

I once met a girl

With the life in her hands

And we lay together

On the summerday sands

I gave her my raincoat

And told, "Lady, be good"

And we made truth together

Where no one else would

I smiled through her fingers

And ran the dust through her hands

The hour-glass of reason

On the summerday sands

We sat as the sea caught fire

I waited 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

Over summerday 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 her 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 summerday sands

I once met a girl

With the life in her hands

And we lied together

On the summerday sands

On the summerday sands

On the summerday sands

On the summerday sands

On the summerday sands
