Just like little grains of sand Through the fingers of my hand The falling grains are just like dreams I wish I could understand Your eyes so soft and blue, that I once knew Like a dazzling light within a pool of liquid night But when I reach for you, you disappear then Reappear; through shades of blue I follow you 'Til you're out of sight Just like little grains of sand Through the fingers of my hand The falling grains are just like dreams I wish I could understand We're standing face to face near the fireplace In a room I know I've never seen before Purple lights, violet lights, scarlet flames I speak your name, touch your hand And then you're gone once more Just like little grains of sand Through the fingers of my hand The falling grains are just like dreams I wish I could understand I'll hold on to each fragment and lament Though it's just a theme within a dream a moment long And I wish I never wake so I can see your Face forever, 'til the end of time when all is gone Just like little grains of sand Through the fingers of my hand The falling grains are just like dreams I wish I could understand
