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 her, ``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-glass of reason on the summerday sands.



We sat as the sea caught fire.

Waited as the flames grew higher

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 wheelspin

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.
