Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Give me your eyes that I might see

The blind man kissing my hands

The sun is humming, my head turns to dust

As he plays on his knees

(As he plays on his knees)

[Chorus]

And the sand and the sea grows

I close my eyes

Move slowly through drowning waves

Going away on a strange day

[Verse 2]

And I laugh as I drift in the wind

Blind dancing on a beach of stone

Cherish the faces as they wait for the end

Sudden hush across the water

And we're here again

[Chorus]

And the sand and the sea grows

I close my eyes

Move slowly through drowning waves

Going away on a strange day

[Bridge]

My head falls back and the walls crash down

And the sky and the impossible explode

Held for one moment, I remember a song

An impression of sound

Then everything is gone forever

[Outro]

(A strange day)

(A strange day)
