On Drifting Sand

                                  To burst into the land of dreams

Push me down those blue moon beams

Among you and not, it seems, on drifting sand

I'd woken up but only half awake

Where my aching bones won't say

Always there but never stay, on drifting sand



Wake me, shake me, tell me I'm alive

Take it easy give me no surprise

Among you and not it seems on drifting sand



I'll be a raggedy king with a rusty crown

My queen Cleopatra when the sun goes down

Always there but never stay on drifting sand

We'll burst right through the land of dreams

Scattering those cold, cold blue moonbeams

Always there but never stay on drifting sands



Shadows on the ceiling, rocks in my bed

The moon on my shoulder, stars in my head

Find me a hat, I'll talk through it, lend me your ear I'll talk to it

Show me the door I'll walk through it, to the land of drifting sand



Wake me, shake me, tell me I'm alive

Rock me gently give me no surprise

Among you and we're not it seems on drifting sand
