Summerday Sands - Jethro Tull
I once met a girl with
The life in her hands
And we lay together on
The summerday sands
I gave her my raincoat
And told her
"Lady be good ''
And we made truth together
Where no one else would
I smiled through her fingers
And ran the dust through her hands
The hour-glass of reason
On the summerday sands
We sat as the sea caught fire
Waited as the flames
Grew higher in her eyes
In her eyes
We watched the eagle born
Wings clipped tail feathers shorn
But we saw him rise
We saw him rise over summerday sands
Came the ten o'clock curfew
She said "I must start my car
I'm staying with someone
I met last night in a bar ''
I called from my wave top:
"At least tell me your name ''
She smiled from her wheelspin
And said "It's all the same ''
I thought for a minute
Jumped back on dry land
Left one set of footprints
On the summerday sands
I once met a girl with
The life in her hands
And we lied together
On the summerday sands
On the summerday sands
On the summerday sands
On the summerday sands
On the summerday sands
