Close to the Sunset

Dip a toe in the sand How can I forget The lay of the land The thought lingers yet Like my toe in the sand How could you forget The grit in your hand So close to the sunset Set the fans on high Keep your head dry There's a bead of sweat You need to get Your feet in the sand How could you forget All the grit in your hand So close to the sunset We owned a place Where the earth meets sky Had to sell When the well went dry They say that the desert Can never die So get your feet in the sand And don't ask why There's all this grit in your hand So close to the sunset Dip a toe in the sand How can I forget The lay of the land The thought lingers yet Like my toe in the sand How could you forget All this grit in your hand So close to the sunset
