lyrics

Your story only now begins to open up to me
I was happy to be sure of an unseen mystery
You're wild as a cheetah
A whale in the sea
And all at once the sand is shifting


I wonder if I see you truly as you are
Are my eyes a prison
And my words a scar
I wonder if I've managed to be present as you are
And all at once the sand is shifting


I thought I was invincible
I thought I was a flame
The strongest roman candle
But a little spit and finger
And it goes dark again


What would it mean to linger
Your eye upon another
And curiously wonder
A night between the covers
What would it do to love
Love surely it would smother
And all at once the sand is shifting


You could snuff me out so easy
Your little candle flame
One night with a stranger
It’s the end of the game
We know that love is endless
When no one is to blame
And all at once the sand is shifting


I thought I was invincible
I thought I was a flame
The strongest roman candle
But a little spit and finger
And it goes dark again


Stone is only sand
Crystal water and air
Building love is like building houses
Out of your hair
In war and in love
Don't ever ask what's fair
And all at once the sand is shifting
And all at once the sand is shifting

And all at once the sand is shifting
And all at once the sand is shifting


I thought I was invincible
I thought I was a flame
The strongest roman candle
But a little spit and finger
And it goes dark again
