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-gla*s 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
