Pillows of Sand

Verse 1

I walk the shoreline alone

And in that solitude, no doubt

I stand and hear the whispers

Of the waves upon the pillows of sand. The music that is carried through this sea breeze, heals me

Verse 2

I hear the sounds of birds in flight

full of mercy and might, this is where they call home

They call to one another

Pairs in a single flight over the waves of time, through the seasonal bliss

Upon their journey I find them

Chorus

Upon the pillows, the pillows of sand

I stand a single life

Dreaming of times both present and past

Of what I might have thought

Pillows of sand, pillows of sand

Holding me gently with all it’s strength and grace

Here where the waves kiss the edge of the land

I choose this sacred place to find your healing hand

Verse 3

Had the power of a single thought

My life before I’d trade

Along the sands of life, many shores

What choice would I have made?

To walk the shore or fly in a soar

The choice was mine to take

To choose a life upon the sand

Or take to the air in flight

Verse 4 (Added verse)

Now years have carved their quiet lines

Across this quiet face

The gulls still wheel above the tides

I watch them from my place

No regret weighs upon my heart

For storms I never braved

The steady shore has held me safe

Through every rising wave, I feel you with me

Chorus

Upon the pillows, the pillows of sand

I stand a single life

Dreaming of times both present and past

Of what I might have thought

Pillows of sand, pillows of sand

Holding me gently with all it’s strength and grace

Here where the waves kiss the edge of the land

I chose this sacred place to find your healing hand

Outro (Final lines, softened)

As it was, the choice was simple

A life upon the sand

It was safe along the shore

Away from fate’s hand
