RIVER OF SAND

 

 

IN A TOTAL ECLIPSE ON THE SOVEREIGN BAY

WE BROUGHT THE WIND DOWN HARD AND IT BLEW US AWAY

                 IT TOOK US TO A TOTAL ABANDON

                 BUT YOU CAN’T WASH YOUR EYES

                 IN A RIVER OF SAND

 

I’LL BE THE INNOCENCE TORN FROM ANOTHER MAN’S CLOTHES

YOU’LL BE IN STREETS OF LACE AND ALLEYS OF GOLD

                 WE  WOKE UP TO A TOTAL ABANDON

                  AND YOU CAN’T TESTIFY

                  IN A RIVER OF SAND

 

SHE WALKED THE CORRIDORS COLD AND LOCKED EVERY DOOR

WE BURNED THE FIELDS ALL NIGHT INTO THE SUN WE RODE

                   I STOLE INTO A TOTAL ABANDON

                   WHERE SHE LAY PETRIFIED

                   IN A RIVER OF SAND
