Sifting Sand
as heard on Teleport
Verse 1:
On the summer days I like to pedal to the ocean shore.
Drink a glass of something nice, think about the years before.
Look around at what I see, lovers line the shore galore.
I wonder why no one's with me, loneliness is my rapport...
Chorus 1:
I'm a lover without a love, slowly drifting out to sea.
The ocean swallows me all by myself... is there something wrong with me?
The waves they crash and pull me under - and drag me to ocean floor.
But as I sink you know I wonder, will this loneliness haunt me forevermore?
Verse 2:
The days they come the days they go, but solidarity stays close.
Beneath the sea I stay afloat but like a school-less fish I swim alone.
I think of me - I think of them, why are we all on our own?
It's thoughts like these I must condemn, things aren't bleak they're just unknown.
Chorus 2:
I'm a lover without a lover, sifting sand upon the ocean floor.
I really couldn't act much dumber, I won't waste my time down here anymore.
I swim on up to the fresh warm air, and paddle towards all I see.
I got no loving girl but I don't care, I'll just love my life till lovin' girl finds me.
Verse 3:
I go about my normal life - happy days and happy nights.
I do not look for love to come, I live a life that's full of fun.
But if I find that special girl, I'll let her into my big world.
We'll pedal to the ocean shore, we'll drink some beer and love some more.
