White Sands
Time in our hands
Ticking, ticking, ticking
Slipping, slipping, slipping
We laid a blanket on the White Sands
Loved the daylight into stars
Turquoise sky turned into galaxies
And for one night the world was ours
Your warm hand resting over mine
Silver slipping through our skin
We came out here to lose some time
And found ourselves within
White Sands, White Sands
Time in our hands
Time keeps ticking, ticking, ticking
Sand keeps slipping, slipping, slipping
Open your hand
Let love stay
Love me, love me
The White Sands way
I closed my fingers round the sand
Watched every grain slip through
Opened up my hand again
And there it stayed with you
Maybe love was always like that
Maybe time was telling us
You lose the things you squeeze too hard
You keep what you can trust
Like sands through an hourglass
So go the days we get
You can't stop the falling
So love me while we can
Slipping seconds
Shifting sand
Love was never meant
For a closing hand
Rolling, rolling, rolling
Let the wild wind move
The desert keeps on changing
And still it stays true
White Sands, White Sands
Time in our hands
Time keeps ticking, ticking, ticking
Sand keeps slipping, slipping, slipping
Open your hand
Let love stay
Love me, love me
The White Sands way
