The Sea And The Sand - Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

Once there was the sea now there is sand

And no way now to wash these aching limbs

We have been brothers to this land

All of our boats have long been burned

Lord take this weight out of my bones

Your seventh sin may still yet be unlearned

Though I may burn out in the sand

Still I will learn to love this land

But if the world is truly turned

Surely then our hearts will burn again

And the sand will turn to soil

And the blood run in our veins again

And burn again

Once there was the sea now there is sand

And no way now to wash these aching limbs

Still you will take me by the hand

Yet I will learn to love this land

But if the world is truly turned

Surely then our hearts will burn again

And the sand will turn to soil

And the blood run in our veins again

And burn again
