Jethro Tull - Summerday Sands текст песни

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.

We watched the eagle born ---

Wings clipped, tail feathers shorn

But we saw him rise ---

Over summerday sands.

Came the ten oclock curfew.

She said, ``i must start my car.

Im 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, ``its 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.
