lyrics

Took another shot at the bottom in the fading light,
Three sheets to the wind and I swear that I could almost take flight.
And as the church bell rings and not a souls comes to prayer.
I find myself drawn to you like the water's drawn to sand.
Water's drawn to sand.

Had a million chances, I never too them when I should.
What doesn't kill me now just makes me less understood.
Fresh opportunities falling through these greying hands.
It's dust to the wind, it's all just water to the sand.

A carousel going round all night in my head,
The illusions are real and the ghosts are all flesh.
As I stand before you, you see a thousand different men.
Look again they're gone, it's all just water to the sand.
Water to...

Water to the sand.
Water to the sand.
