lyrics

7. Ashes in The Sands.

Forty years since this journey has begun
we've seen many dreams and pretty setting suns there's no turning back the years have made us one and the minutes melt into the melting hours.

and as I see you softly reach for me.
there's a hero in your eyes I still can see
although time has been your enemy
there are clockbells shining in their tallest towers

there'll be your ashes in the sands of my hourglass there will be rain with your blue eyes in my songs there will be laughter and tears in your photographs but there will be no goodbyes until you're gone.

Sacred nights when you still can reach for me
I hold on to whispers of your melody.
we're waltzing through the greatest mystery
and I hope the fiddler makes it to the morn

there's someone inside you that pain will never hide the dream is gone the dreamer never died
and as I watch you wash away with the tide I kiss the joys of knowing you were born.
