Water lapping round my kneesGolden sand beneath my feetWould mean a lot to meThere’s very little you can sayTo make those feelings go awayTill you take meThere’s nothing more that I preferTo see the boys and the girlsStep it out with grace and prideAs honesty flows by your sideI cannot run from times hard pressedTo become embittered, dispossessedJust like some doAnd maybe some place I can findWhere wheel and heart become entwinedLike I hope toAnd nothing matters more to youTo sit and sing a song that’s trueThe first one there and last to leaveSweet memories for you to keepNo easy lesson for me to learnJust to close those eyes of mock concernAnd halt your rush to be sincereThere’s more in life for you to fear.
