Lost Lyrics - Singles - Van Der Graaf Generator

Dance in Sand and Sea 

So here we are, or rather, here I am, quite alone, 

I'm seeing things that were shared before, long ago 

My memory stretches and I am dazed: you know I know 

How good the time was and how I laughed 

Times have changed, now you're far away, I can't complain: 

I had all my chances but they slipped right through my hands - like so much sand; 

I know I'll never dance like I used to 

I'll just wait till day breaks upon the land and the sea. 

Hoping that I can catch all of the memories, 

Then I must crawl off upon my way, all of me 

Listening hard for the final words. 

But there are none; the sunrise calls, I've lingered on 

Too close for comfort and I don't know quite why 

I feel like crying 

I know we'll never dance like we used to. 

I look up, I'm almost blinded by the warmth of what's inside me 

And the taste that's in my soul, 

But I'm dead inside as I stand alone 

Dance in Frost 

I wore my moods like so many different sets of clothes 

But the right one was never around; 

And as you left I heard my body ring 

And my mind began to howl 

It was far to late to contemplate the meaning of it all: 

You know that I need you, but somehow I don't think 

You see my love at all 

At some point I lost you, I don't know quite how it was; 

The wonderland lay in a coat of white, chilling frost 

I looked around and I found I was truly lost: 

Without your hand in mine I am dead 

Reality is unreal and games I've tried just aren't the same: 

Without your smile there's nowhere to hide 

And deep inside 

I know I've never cried as I'm about to 

If I could just frame the words that would make your fire burn 

All this water now around me could be the love that 

Should surround me. 

Looking out through the tears that bind me 

My heart bleeds that you may find me .. or at least that I can 

Forget and be numb, but I can't stop, the words still come: 

I love you
