Water lapping round my knees   Golden sand beneath my feet   Would mean a lot to me   There's very little you can say   To make those feelings go away   Till you take me      There's nothing more that I prefer   To see the boys and the girls   Step it out with grace and pride   As honesty flows by your side      I cannot run from times hard pressed   To become embittered, dispossessed   Just like some do   And maybe some place I can find   Where wheel and heart become entwined   Like I hope to      And nothing matters more to you   To sit and sing a song that's true   The first one there and last to leave   Sweet memories for you to keep      No easy lesson for me to learn   Just to close those eyes of mock concern   And halt your rush to be sincere   There's more in life for you to fear.
