Sifting Sands

One night your skin turned cold and it brought me to my knees Was the shifting of the winds and it tore me into three The light shattered into waves I was sinking in a haze My God The fleeting times arrived and then vanished once again Like the sands of an hourglass that went sifting through my hands Our time burned up in a flame If only I stayed It's done Guide me to your love How can I carry on with these scars For all in this life to overcome For all in this life still to come I'm holding on Down along the ocean, under the banyan trees A distant light still shining for all eternity As the sun sinks down in the bay I can feel you in the waves, I know Guide me to your love How can I carry on with these scars For all in this life to overcome For all in this life still to come Guide me to your love How can I carry on with these scars For all in this life to overcome For all in this life still to come I'm holding on
