Lyrics[]

Sea dream, blue and green
All is not what it seems
Crashing on the shores of desire
Dread and expectation both feed the fire
Insanely longing for what could not be held
The simple truth is buried somewhere in the sand

Time slips between my fingers
Time slips between my fingers
Time slips between my fingers

Sea dream, blue on green
Water like tears washes clean
Traces of lives turned to salt in the sun
They will fade but the damage has been done
My wounds have healed but time I cannot understand
The simple truth lies buried somewhere in the sand

Time slips between my fingers
Time slips between my fingers
Time slips between my fingers

Sea dream, blue on green
From sand to sun, the tide recedes
Exposing possibilities lost and found and lost again
Waiting for the message that's never going to come
At ocean edge I lie, drowning on dry land
The simple truth is buried somewhere in the sand

Time slips between my fingers
Time slips between my fingers
Time slips between my fingers
