So Much Sand

The latest. All done on my laptop, I'm proud to say! Well, I played piano on the piano and the guitar on the guitar, and sang, but the rest was done with this laptop.

Just sat down at the piano last night and two fingers made a tune . . . and one thing led to another. Suffice to say I didn't get much sleep. But you have to ride the horse when it's available.

And I am most unsatisfied with the sound quality. You will just have to bear with me there. Like I say, they're just sketches. I'll work 'em up properly when I get a real studio happening.

Oh, and the steak . . . a mis-steak. It all came up in the middle of the night. I guess I really have become a vegetable . . .

LYRICS

SO MUCH SAND

Counting clouds and feeling rain
Never knowing if I’ll see you again
In a spirit world you slip away

Tell me all your secrets soon
Turn your blue stones, listen to this tune
When it’s fair, the clouds will fade away

Climb the mountain bracing for the fall
Tell yourself you have to have it all
Don’t you wait another single day

On a hunch I know you’ll make the call
You will run where other people crawl
You will go when all the rest of them stay

When I think of you, hold out my hand
You run through my fingers like so much sand
Are you truly only a mirage
Just a fleeting dream that never was

What would Einstein do in my place
Pulling Gs in outer space
Would continuums go on

An eternal motion machine
Chance to go where you have never been
Maybe learn the words to this song

Was it always over before it began
Graven in the stones with another man
I see the light come through the door
And I am with my love for ever more
