The Sand And The Foam

Dawn, like an angel, lights on the step

Muting the morning she heralds

Dew on the grass like the tears the night wept

Gone long before the day wears old

(Chorus)

Time stills the singing a child holds so dear

And I'm just beginning to hear

Gone are the pathways the child followed home

Gone like the sand and the foam

Pressed in the pages of some aging text

Lies an old lily a-crumbling

Marking a moment of childish respects

Long since betrayed and forgotten

(Chorus)

(Repeat First Verse and Chorus)

Gone like the sand

Gone like the sand

Gone like the sand and the foam
