Before the sand gets hot

BEFORE THE SAND GETS HOT (D G D G B D, capo 1)

 Angels dance around the green. Blue and yellow in our eyes. We are only waking up. We are only here for now.

 

In the distance listening. Do you wonder why you came? Getting nearer every breath. It doesn’t matter why you came.

 

In the bushes there is smoke. In the ocean there is smoke. In the sky it is clear. In your hands it’s empty.

 

Green leaves rarely fall. And they won’t stay green for long. Are you just hanging on? Will you be here for long?

 

Before the sand gets hot. Leave your wings at home today. The crows don’t follow you. The crows are always home.

 

The light glimmers through the leaves. The light bends around the leaves. The light sets fire to the leaves.
