lost i dance in sand and sea pt2 the dance in the frost

Van Der Graaf Generator

So here we are, or rather, here i am, quite alone
I m seeing things that were shared before, long ago
My memory stretches and i am dazed: you know i know
How good the time was and how i laughed
Times have changed, now you re far away, i can t complain
I had all my chances but they slipped
right through my hands
Like so much sand
I know i ll never dance like i used to
I ll just wait till day breaks upon the land and the sea
Hoping that i can catch all of the memories
Then i must crawl off upon my way, all of me
Listening hard for the final words
But there are none; the sunrise calls, i ve lingered on
Too close for comfort and i don t know quite why
I feel like crying
I know we ll never dance like we used to
I look up, i m almost blinded by the warmth
of what s inside me
And the taste that s in my soul
But i m dead inside as i stand alone
Ii. dance in frost
I wore my moods like so many different sets of clothes
But the right one was never around
And as you left i heard my body ring
And my mind began to howl
It was far to late to contemplate the meaning of it all
You know that i need you, but somehow
i don t think you see my love
At all
At some point i lost you, i don t know quite how it was
The wonderland lay in a coat of white, chilling frost
I looked around and i found i was truly lost
Without your hand in mine i am dead
Reality is unreal and games i ve tried just aren t the same
Without your smile there s nowhere to hide
And deep inside
I know i ve never cried as i m about to
If i could just frame the words
that would make your fire burn
All this water now around me could be the love that
Should surround me
Looking out through the tears that bind me
My heart bleeds that you may find me
or at least that i can
Forget and be numb, but i can t stop, the words still come
I love you
