I don't know much now I'm writing my name in the sand You seem to know how But you ran away from my hands I can't help it though It must be that time of day When the water goes Remember me when I say Oh, in the night time Oh, in the morning rain Oh, in the night time I will see your face again I have learned much from Counting the rings on the stump Long after I'd swung My double bit axe towards the trunk What is there to say Whatever you think that's at hand I was washed away With the words that I wrote in the sand Oh, in the night time Oh, in the morning rain Oh, in the night time I will see your face again "Don't bang the drum!" the Waterboy said I heard 'em loud, in the crowd, he's still shouting today He spoke of a day when the seas were to rise It resounds in my head, when I see you at night Oh, in the night time Oh, in the morning rain Oh, in the night time I will see your face again
