Clothes of Sand

Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand?

Who has taken you far from my land?

Who has said that my sayings were wrong?

Who will say that I stayed much too long?



Clothes of sand have covered your face

Given you meaning, but taken my place

So make your way on down to the sea

Something has taken you so far from me



Does it now seem worth all the color of skies

To see the earth through painted eyes?

To look through panes of shaded glass

See the stains of winter's grass?



Clothes of sand have covered your face

Given you meaning, but taken my place

So make your way on down to the sea

Something has taken you so far from me



Can you now return to from where you came?

Try to burn your changing name

Or with silver spoons and colored light

Will you worship moons in winter's night?



Clothes of sand have covered your face

Given you meaning, but taken my place

So make your way on down to the sea

Something has taken you so far from me



Clothes of sand have covered your face

Given you meaning, but taken my place

So make your way on down to the sea

Something has taken you so far from me
