about

This one is written in the style of all those indie-bands of the late eighties and early nineties. It's dedicated to that nice lady from the church, who's put up with me for the last 35 years.

lyrics

Strange Sands
===========
I’ve no ideas, this head is empty
Of anything at all
I’ve got to find a way to fight this
I’ve no energy to call
The world is making such demands

Cast my dreams on strange sands
Cast my dreams on strange sands

No time to waste, this time this place
It could last forever
If you just smile, the saving grace
And we’ll stay together
But we just tally in the borderlands

Cast my dreams on strange sands
Cast my dreams on strange sands

I guess I should be someplace else
I’d laugh if I was someplace else
You and I could be
A desert island in the sun

Help me to stand up
When you see me
Falling on my face
You know I’ll fly away in pieces
And clutter up the place
It only takes a reprimand

To cast my dreams on strange sands
Cast my dreams on strange sands
And you will save the day
(Like you always do)
Yeah, you will save the day
Every time you lead me back here
When I lose my way

Strange sands
Cast my dreams on strange sands

Strange sands
Cast my dreams on strange sands
