Sands And The Glass Lyrics - Robin Williamson

by Robin Williamson 

Running from home full of hope 

Green as dope and living on our dreams 

How long ago it seems since we believed in magic 

Finding love so easily then, seeking to be free as the wind 

Laughing with our friends beyond the tragic 

Chorus: 

I think we were duped 

But I don't forget 

Things that were true 

I believe them yet 

I've seen a new day 

Beyond the sad sunset 

It looks so fine 

Let it shine in the end 

Let it shine 

Sweet ladies gave me brown bread and cheese 

Breezes from the sea flew blue birds 

Death was absurd when I was flying 

Hearts of gold and old stories 

Never told a lying word 

There was no flaw till I saw you crying 

Someone could not sell us cars 

Saw us staring at the stars and sold us sleep 

Drowned us deep in limbo 

Some of us died, some got by, here am I still singing on a stage 

I'll never turn my cheek but I'll turn the page 

And watch the way the wind blows
