Chalk up another bridge   That I've burnt   Before I crossed   I'd like another chance   To to to win back   Whatever I lost      What did I say?   What did I say to you?   To push you away   What can I do?   What can I do?   To be for you, the hero of your day      Sand through my fingers   Always returns to the waves   Love runs like water   For you keep slippin' away      Another dance, one   More advance   And you escape my kiss   But you must understand   A mortal man can be nothin'   When his love is missed      Here you are before me   Like a brick wall, beautiful and tall   I try to get through   But I don't want to harm you      Here I am like a tidal wave   Or a ripple on the lake   I try to seem strong   But only time can charm you      But sand through my fingers   Always returns to the waves   And love runs like water   You keep slippin' away      I try   To be the hero of your day   Was I so blind?   I let you slip away      I try   To be the hero of your day   Was I so blind?   I let you slip away      I try   To be the hero of your day   Was I so blind?   I let you slip away      I try   To be the hero of your day   Was I so blind?   I let you slip away
