Lyrics
Oh, I hear the lovers laughing
They don't even have a dime
They live in a dream where everyone feels just the same
And I hear the loser lying
He lives inside a shell
He keep on sinking down into the sand
Oh, I had a lonely past
A life so full of fear
Now I know the song has changed
This life is much too dear
Please don't leave me sinking down into the sand
Though I'm back on the road again
It seems like yesterday
I was leaving you lonely, thinking of no one but me
Whoa, I think it's gonna last
But I feel we're getting thin
We're pulling together, we're finding each other again
Now I had a lonely past
A life so full of fear
I know now the song has changed
This life is much too dear
So please don't you leave me sinking down into the sand
I look to the left and look to the right
Nobody happening, nothing in sight
I can't explain what I'm talking about
I look to the left, well, I look to the right
Nobody happening, there's nothing in sight
I can't explain what I'm talking about
Whoa, I had a lonely past
A life so full of fear
Now I know the song has changed
This life is much too dear
Well, please don't leave me sinking down into the sand
Oh
Yeah
Singing, please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me sinking down into the sand
Please don't leave me sinking down into the sand
Please don't leave
