We'd had plenty of lovers
We had put in our time
We were anything but blind
Just as certain as angels
Of perpetual flight
When we met, we saw the light
This one for sure
This time forever
But it turned to sand
Slipping through our hands
As time slipped away
She was a stranger
When I woke and saw her face
She moved in for the winter
Made a garden in May
Summer came then the cold autumn grey
And I was gone when she left me
There was nothing to leave
Swept away on a breeze
This one for sure
This time forever
But it turned to sand
Slipping through our hands
As time slipped away
She was a stranger
When I woke and saw her face
