Sand - Time To Burn

I've been humming a high note Maybe something that I wrote Out sailing in my boat I'm not really sure I'm still singing the same tune I've been kicking around since June All morning and afternoon Now it's all a blur I've been listening to sea shells To hear the stories that they tell Of high times and tide swells That have yet to occur Backsliding down the drain Partially taking all the blame Chasing coins to fill the purse Is it really better or for worse Is it a blessing or a curse To pass the buck Is it a bounty or a bust Is it precious metal or just rust Well it seems it's up to us So wish us luck I kept making a U-turn Ended up with a sunburn But the lesson that I learned Was worth the skin that peeled I climbed so many mountains It's not even worth counting All the drinks in the fountain Before it was revealed From the copper to the kettle The stamen to the petal We watch the value of sand dollars crumble

Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts. A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start You gotta take the first step You gotta grow to be tall And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget. You got love to burn. You better take your chance on love. You got to let your guard down You better take a chance, A chance on love. Take chance on love On love. In the valley of hearts there's a house full of broken windows And the lovers inside just quarrel all the time Why'd you ruin my life? Where you takin' my kid? And they hold each other saying: How did it come to this? You got love to burn. You better take your chance on love. You got to let your guard down You better take a chance, A chance on love. Take chance on love On love. Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts. A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start You gotta take the first step You gotta grow to be tall And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget.

Come on Fear of the dark, tears me apart Won't leave me alone and time keeps running out Just one more life, I'm so sick and tired Of singing the blues, I should turn my life around Come on Tell me why do I feel this way All my life I've been standing on the borderline Too many bridges burned Too many lies I've heard Had a life but I can't go back Can't do that, it will never be the same again And I know I don't Have any time to burn Come on They follow me home, disturbing my sleep But I'll find a place, A place where they cannot find me Maybe I'm lost, and maybe I'm scared But too many times I've closed the doors behind me Tell me why do I feel this way All my life I've been standing on the borderline Too many bridges burned Too many lies I've heard Had a life but I can't go back Can't do that, it will never be the same again And I know I don't Have any time to burn Leave it all behind Cross the borderline Face the truth, don't have any time to Have any time to burn Tell me why do I feel this way All my life I've been standing on the borderline Too many bridges burned Too many lies I've heard Had a life but I can't go back Can't do that, it will never be the same again Gotta go, cause I know I don't Have any time to burn Tell me why do I feel this way All my life I've been standing on the borderline Too many bridges burned Too many lies I've heard Had a life but I can't go back Can't do that, it will never be the same again And I know I don't Have any time to Have any time to burn Come on
