Can't climb to heaven on the cro----ss
One last promise drained the blood from my heart
In a message in the dark
Offered the hand of a disembodied man
While I still had the chance
Now it’s gone, gone
And I am, who I am
Who I was, I will never ever be again
Running out of sand
Blurred eyes look back at me, full of blame and sympathy
So, so --- close
With right roads not taken and futures forsaken
Dropped like a fossil or stone
Now it’s gone, gone
And I am, who I am
Who I was, I will never ever become again
Running out of sand
Ohhhh oh-oh-ohhh
Ohhhh oh-oh-ohhh
Fearful of dreams, there’ll be no sleep tonight
Fine at dinner, dead by dessert
Victim or witness, we’re gonna get hurt
A fragile existence, with echoes of wrath
I can’t stop the bleeding nor the tears in thine eye
There’s another us somewhere with much better lives
With God as our witness but he won’t testify, ohhhhh
Oh now it’s gone, gone
And I am, who I am
Who I could’ve been, I will never have the chance
Running out of sand
Running out of sand
Running out of sa----nd
