Sometimes I feel On shaky ground I feel much better When you are around And the Earth, how it shakes beneath my feet It's hard to walk around On one simple street You and me The Earth, the sky, and the sea around the sun, today Catching sand from the hourglass Funny how it slips away These clothes, they don't fit me just right Something's astray The common thread's all frayed And I used to sing dance and clown As I do now When you are around All caught up In what has come to pass, will it last Or fade away? Catching sand from the hourglass Funny how it slips away Catching sand from the hourglass Funny how it slips away Funny how it slips away Funny how it slips away It's true, it's true I must confess The cheap shots to your tenderness Can you show me where it hurts? And your eyes look deep into my soul Stop me in my tracks Knowing where to go You and me The Earth, the sky and the sea around the sun If only for today We'll catch the sand from the hourglass Never let it slip away We'll catch the sand from the hourglass Never let it slip away We'll catch the sand from the hourglass Never let it slip away We'll catch the sand from the hourglass Never let it slip away
