Walk with me around the bay  Sit amid the dunes and play  Try to count the grains of sand  A universe of dust blows through our hands   This is not a simple love  Though we're made of simple stuff  Giddy fingers in the night  Burning oh so brief, but oh so bright    And when I look at the light, I won't look back  Maybe there's no grain of truth in this  Clouded sand  And maybe the trick is not to try  To understand    There is anger in your smile  Lonely and unreconciled  Smash yourself on my closed hand  You know the wave can never hold the land  Hold the land    This is not an easy game  Stupid sand looks all the same  It's not enough to feel the hurt  You need to put it into words  Maybe all your words are not enough   To get your point across    Look at the light and don't look back  Maybe there's no grain of truth in this  Clouded sand  And maybe the trick is not to try  To understand  Understand    Gates all the way to your house  Don't be deceived
