the wind and the sand Lyrics

I came across, the other day

A town with no name

And I walked those streets

All alone

I followed the paved walkways

The cracked cement from numbered days

And I wonder if you'd walked those streets

All alone

I made my way to the town's edge

And walked down to the river-bend

And found the tree

Where we carved our names

And in those names, I saw our life

I heard you laugh, thought I saw you cry

Ain't it crazy, we forget the things

That we engrave

I find myself at the shore again

Where we found ourselves every now and then

Where we drank all night

And slept all day

Now it's only me here

With my memories dancing on the pier

And a bottle of booze

To drink my thoughts away

I wake up to the sunrise

And what do I see in my eyes

I see you there

Walking down the shore

I run to you, just to hold you again

But you disappear

With the wind and the sand

I don't think I'll get to love you anymore
