Hey you, sand carrier!
Is that sand upon your back?
Hey, where are you going?
With yet another load of sand
Hey you, so weighed down
Drifting slowly across the water
Hey, where are you going?
I'd like to know
Everyday I see you going by when I'm by the shore
Did you hollow out another hill somewhere?
Did you break it down here so you can build it up over there?
We always seem to be building and building
It never stops
Hey you, sand carrier!
With that load upon your back
Hey, where are you going?
With yet another load
Hey you, so weighed down
Drifting slowly across the water
Hey, where are you going?
Every day I see you going by when I'm by the shore
Did you scour out a riverbed somewhere?
Did you break it down here so you can build it up over there?
Such an illusion, this sleight of hand
We're shifting like sand
We all are
We're sand people
Disposable
So now can we take another long hard look?
No!
So now can we take another long hard look?
Who is gonna look?
The amber sky
Sand carrier
Take me away from this shore
Sand carrier
I want to go where you go
You can't go...
