Sand in My Hand Songtext

von John Wetton

You know you sell your soul
Every time you lose control
Is it Heaven here on earth?

And you go through madness
On your way to sadness
It seems your prayers are never heard

Well, if you wanna get high again
Hit the sky again
Girl, that's up to you

For all this time, Marianne
You've been sand in my hand
I'll keep holding on
But until you understand
You're still sand in my hand

You throw it all away
You live to die one more day
And I know you're going down
So every night you look
Try every trick in your book
But the time is running out

So if you wanna get high again
Hit the sky again
There's nothing I can do?

All this time, Marianne
You've been sand in my hand
I'll keep holding on
Until all my strength has gone
Don't be sand in my hand
