The purple sand of time Slips slowly through our fingers And hiss beneath our feet We walk upon the embers We've finally found that field Of grass that's always greener Careful what you say Careful what you wish for The shimmer of our sea Blinded by the sun The unattainable horizon Of things I haven't done The wind of highest hopes Blows away mistakes You're taking what it gives I'm hiding what it takes Dark waves of our nights Illuminated faces Every tear or smile Leaves its line of traces The celestial performance Comes and goes so soon What's lost beneath the Sun Is found behind the Moon What's lost beneath the Sun Is found behind the Moon
