Bill Kirchen - Rocks Into Sand lyrics

rate me

<br>

Long before fish every walked on land,<br>

time was turning rocks into sand.<br>

Rocks into stone, stone into sand,<br>

sand that slips through the hands of a man<br>

<br>

So I built my castle close by the shore<br>

and I slept on the sands of the ocean's roar.<br>

Then I came to understand<br>

that my house was built on shifting sand.<br>

<br>

So we went to the hill and built us a town<br>

with beautiful views for miles around.<br>

When the mountain shook and tumbled down<br>

We knew we built on shaky ground.<br>

<br>

Before fish every walked on land,<br>

time was turning rocks into sand.<br>

Rocks into stone<br>

Stone into sand<br>

Sand that slips through the hands of a man<br>

<br>

Now the sands will shift and the earth's gonna roll.<br>

The rocks and the rain will collect their toll.<br>

And all I'll take is what I brought<br>

and I may not get what I sought.<br>

Whether I sink or I fall<br>

that's up to the shifting sands after all<br>

<br>

Before fish every walked on land,<br>

time was turning rocks into sand.<br>

<br>
